The three stop codons UAG, UAA, UGA do not code for any
proteins. then why does the start codon AUG code for a
protein, i.e, methionine?
Answer / ak912
AUG codon codes for an amino acid ;Methionine, because a tRNA is available with the anti-codon complementary to the AUG codon. This tRNA brings in the Methionine molecule when charged to the site of protein synthesis ie Ribosomes in the cytosol.

what is Interspecific breeding ?
Flower position, stem length, and seed shape were three traits that were studied by Mendel. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene. If a plant that is heterozygous for all three traits was allowed to self- fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to show all three dominant phenotypes?

Promoters of housekeeping genes contain variable numbers of GC boxes, but neither TATA nor CCAAT boxes.Inwhat way these properties of housekeeping promoters are helpful?
A number of plant species have a recessive allele for albinism; homozygous albino (white) individuals are unable to synthesize chlorophyll. If a tobacco plant heterozygous for albinism is allowed to self-pollinate and 500 seeds germinate: a)how many offspring will be the same genotype as the parent? b)how many seedlings would you expect to be white?
