The enzyme polynucleotide phosphorylase randomly assembles nucleotides into a polynucleotide polymer. you add polynucleotide phosphorylase to a solution containing the ndp nucleotides adenine and guanine. the resulting artificial mrna molecule would have possible different codons if the code involved two-base sequences and possible different codons if the code involved three-base sequences. a. 2; 3 b. 2; 4 c. 4; 8 d. 4; 16 e. 16; 64

Answer;

C. 4; 8

Explanation;

-Enzyme polynucleotide phosphorylase does not need a template; and, it could use as little as 1 NDP or as many as 4 NDPs as substrate. In fact, the sequence of the product RNA depended entirely on the number and concentration of substrate NDPs.

-The enzyme was subsequently determined that the enzyme’s function is to degrade RNA, not synthesize it; under test-tube conditions, however, it runs its natural reaction in reverse.

nucleus

would be most reasonable answer tbh
