Verified By Collegedunia
Correct Answer: 1
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Recall genetic codons.
Methionine (Met) is coded by a single codon, AUG.
It also serves as the start codon for translation initiation.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Hence, number of codons = 1.
Methionine (Met) is coded by a single codon, AUG.
It also serves as the start codon for translation initiation.
Step 2: Conclusion.

The vector, shown in the figure, has promoter and RBS sequences in the 300 bp region between the restriction sites for enzymes X and Y. There are no other sites for X and Y in the vector. The promoter is directed towards the Y site. The insert containing only an ORF provides 3 fragments after digestion with both enzymes X and Y. The ORF is cloned in the correct orientation in the vector using the single restriction enzyme Y. The size of the largest fragment of the recombinant plasmid expressing the ORF upon digestion with enzyme X is ........... bp. (answer in integer)
