The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given mRNA sequences is translated completely, we need to identify the presence of start and stop codons in each sequence. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Codons**: - Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that correspond to specific amino acids or signal the termination of translation. - The start codon is **AUG**, which codes for Methionine (MET) and initiates translation. - Stop codons are **UAA**, **UAG**, and **UGA**. These do not code for any amino acid and signal the end of translation. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option (A)**: 5' AUG UGA UUA AAG AAA 3' - Starts with **AUG** (start codon). - Contains **UGA** (stop codon) as the second codon. - **Conclusion**: Translation stops at UGA, so this mRNA is **not translated completely**. - **Option (B)**: 5' AUG AUA UUG CCCC UGA 3' - Starts with **AUG** (start codon). - The sequence continues with AUA, UUG, and CCCC before reaching **UGA** (stop codon). - **Conclusion**: Translation starts with AUG and continues until UGA, so this mRNA is **translated completely**. - **Option (C)**: 5' AGU UCC AGA CUC UAA 3' - Does not start with **AUG** (start codon). - Contains **UAA** (stop codon) at the end. - **Conclusion**: Since it does not start with AUG, this mRNA is **not translated completely**. - **Option (D)**: 5' AUG UAC AGU AAC UAG 3' - Starts with **AUG** (start codon). - Contains **UAG** (stop codon) at the end. - **Conclusion**: Translation starts with AUG and continues until UAG, so this mRNA is **translated completely**. 3. **Final Conclusion**: - The mRNAs that are translated completely are **Option (B)** and **Option (D)**. ### Answer: **(B) 5' AUG AUA UUG CCCC UGA 3' and (D) 5' AUG UAC AGU AAC UAG 3' are translated completely.**
