Question

When looking for a possible eukaryotic open reading frame in a double stranded dna molecule, how many frames must you check?.

Answer

Three frames (plus strand frame, minus strand frame 1, minus strand frame 2) should be inspected for a possible eukaryotic open reading frame in a double-stranded DNA molecule.

  • Q: What is an open reading frame (ORF)? A: An open reading frame (ORF) is a reading frame in a DNA or RNA sequence that could potentially encode a protein.
  • Q: How many frames should be checked while looking for a possible eukaryotic open reading frame in a double stranded DNA molecule? A: There are three reading frames (plus strand frame, minus strand frame 1, and minus strand frame 2) that must be inspected for a potential open reading frame in a double-stranded DNA sequence.
