medium
If there are $999$ bases in an $RNA$ that code for a protein with $333$ amino acids, and the base at position $901$ is deleted such that the length of the $RNA$ becomes $998$ bases, how many codons will be altered?
A
$11$
B
$33$
C
$333$
D
$1$
(NEET-2017)
Solution
(b) : $1$ codon consists of $3$ bases. Therefore, a deletion on $901$ position will affect $33$ codons.
