Question

The DNA sequence below is transcribed completely to generate anmRNA. The mRNA is then translated to synthesize a protein.On which strand is thelongestopen reading frame (ORF)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The ORF open reading frame is an RNA sequence that is located between the start codon and the termination codon, bounded by untranslated sequences or UTR.

Explanation:

For the translation of an mRNA into a protein, a reading frame is required. This framework allows the division of the mRNA sequence into different codons during translation. The start codon is the main signal, since the translation starts at the start codon, this position allows the mRNA to read in the appropriate frame.
