i think its just getting you to look at the sequence as a whole and ignore what would actually happen...

because the polypeptide would terminate early at the UGA codon... and so you would probably get a non-functional protein.... there isn't a trna that binds to stop codons... release factors (RF-1,RF-2 and RF-3) recognise the stop codons and the ribosome stops....

i don't know the question is weird lol they probably wouldn't ask you that in the exam

probably lol i don't know how release factors work

all i know is that release factors help the ribosome recognize the stop codons....

they probably still researching how the specific recognition of termination still occurs...

just google if you really want to know but you don't need to know all this for yr 12... pretty sure.
