Question:
Write the number of amino acids that would be in the polypeptide synthesised by a similar mRNA as above, where in the fourth codon instead of ‘C’ there is ‘U’. Justify your answer.
Write the number of amino acids that would be in the polypeptide synthesised by a similar mRNA as above, where in the fourth codon instead of ‘C’ there is ‘U’. Justify your answer.
Show Hint
Premature stop codons caused by mutations can lead to truncated proteins and loss of function.

- Consider three metal spherical shells A, B, and C, each of radius \( R \). Each shell has a concentric metal ball of radius \( R/10 \). The spherical shells A, B, and C are given charges \( +6q, -4q, \) and \( 14q \) respectively. Their inner metal balls are also given charges \( -2q, +8q, \) and \( -10q \) respectively. Compare the magnitude of the electric fields due to shells A, B, and C at a distance \( 3R \) from their centers.

A school is organizing a debate competition with participants as speakers and judges. $ S = \{S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4\} $ where $ S = \{S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4\} $ represents the set of speakers. The judges are represented by the set: $ J = \{J_1, J_2, J_3\} $ where $ J = \{J_1, J_2, J_3\} $ represents the set of judges. Each speaker can be assigned only one judge. Let $ R $ be a relation from set $ S $ to $ J $ defined as: $ R = \{(x, y) : \text{speaker } x \text{ is judged by judge } y, x \in S, y \in J\} $.
