A

Serine

B

Tryptophan

C

Alanine

D

Valine

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
By using synthetic DNA khorana et. Al prepared chains of polyribonuclotides with known repeated sequence of two or three nucleotides as poly CUC UCU CUC UCU
Hence two codons repeated alternately . This dictates the formation of polypeptides chain having two amino acid alternatively i.e serine and lecine
