MCQ

उत्तर

33

Explanation:

There are 333 codons in 999 bases       .... ( ∵ 1 codon = 3 bases)

The first 900 bases will remain unchanged if the 901th base is removed. As a result, the number of unmodified codons will be 300. The number of codons that will be changed as a result of the 99 base alteration will be 33.
