(i) Identify the polarity from ‘X’ to ‘Y’ in the mRNA segment shown. Mention how many more amino acids can be added to the polypeptide that is being translated and why.
Show Hint
mRNA’s polarity determines the direction of translation, with the ribosome reading it from 5’ to 3’.
Directionality: 5' to 3'.
Additional Amino Acids: Determined by the count of untranslated codons remaining on the mRNA.
Rationale: One amino acid is encoded per codon, with translation terminating upon encountering a stop codon.
