how many potential reading frames are present in an mrna molecule? enter only a number/numeral in the provided box.

Respuesta :

Number of potential reading frames that are present in mRNA molecule is three.

What do you understand by reading frame?

In molecular biology, reading frame is a way of dividing the sequence of nucleotides in a nucleic acid molecule into a set of consecutive and non-overlapping triplets. These triplets equate to amino acids or stop signals during translation and they are called codons.

The mRNA is single-stranded and therefore only has three possible reading frames, of which only one is translated. Codons of the mRNA reading frame are translated in 5′→3′ direction to amino acids by a ribosome to generate a polypeptide chain.
