suppose the following amino acid chain was created based on a students transcription and translation: tyr - leu - pro - met. in the chain, which data show a possible source of error? explain the error.

suppose the following amino acid chain was created based on a students transcription and translation: tyr - leu - pro - met. in the chain, which data show a possible source of error? explain the error.

Answer

Answer:

The start codon (AUG) which codes for Methionine (Met) is usually the first codon in translation and should be at the start of the amino - acid chain, but here Met is not the first amino - acid.

Brief Explanations:

In normal transcription and translation, the start codon AUG (coding for Met) initiates the process. Since Met is not the first amino - acid in the given chain, it indicates a possible error in the start of translation or transcription process.
