Question
Biology Question on DNA replication, transcription and translation
The rate of transcription in a bacterium is 50 nucleotides/min and the average molecular weight of an amino acid is 110 Da. Time taken for synthesis of the mRNA of a protein with molecular weight of 110 kDa is min. (rounded off to one decimal place) Assume no abortive transcriptions and no sequences upstream of the start codon.
Answer
The Correct answer is : 60.0
