Moderate

A

2
B

3
C

4
D

5

Solution

The sequence given is: AUGUUUUGCAAUAAG. The U and G nucleotide occupies the 5th and 8th position. If these two nucleotides are deleted then the sequence becomes AUGUUUCAAUAAG. This sequence will code for 3 amino acid as the 4th codon is UAA which is a stop codon.
