Question
A DNA can be read in ___ different reading frames 8 7 6 5
Solution
A DNA can be read in 6 different reading frames. This is because DNA is double-stranded and each strand can be read in both directions (from 5' to 3' and from 3' to 5'). Each of these directions can have 3 different reading frames (every set of 3 nucleotides codes for one amino acid). Therefore, 2 strands * 3 reading frames each = 6 total reading frames.
