Detailed Solution

RNA of 999 bases gives rise to protein made up of 333 amino acids because each  code is of triplet nature. If 901 position base removed than rest of the frame of m-RNA genetic code will get altered. So after 900th base rest of genetic code will change that means 33  codes will be altered while 300 codons which are present before the base at 901 position remain the same.
