Answer 1

Error: The Methionine at the end of the chain

Hello! Let's solve this!

The start codon is AUG, this codon encodes Methionine. Therefore all proteins will start the amino acid sequence with Methionine.

In this case, the student placed the Methionine at the end of the chain, so that is the mistake. Methionine goes to the beginning of the chain.

Please mark me brainliest if this helped :D

Answer 2

Answer:

Hi!!

Explanation:

The position of Met seems incorrect.

The amino acid sequences of all proteins begin with Met because it is the amino acid that is attached to the anticodon for the AUG start codon.

It looks like the student might have worked in a backward direction for transcription.
