Question

6. A scientist analyzes an mRNA and finds it is 30 nucleotides long.

Calculate the number of codons in this mRNA.
30
20
10
5

Answer 1

C - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 10 because 1 codon consists of 3 nucleotides so you'd simply do (30/3) or (each answer×3) until you get 30, to find out which option is correct.
