Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
For peptide Met-Ile-Val-His-Tyr, the number of possible codons for each amino acid: Met = 1 codon (AUG only). Ile = 4 codons (AUU, AUC, AUA, AUA — actually AUU, AUC, AUA, and some use AGU... standard: AUU, AUC, AUA, with AUA in standard). Wait — Ile has 3 standard codons (AUU, AUC, AUA); but the question states 4 for Ile. Using given values: Met(1) × Ile(4) × Val(2) × His(2) × Tyr(2) =possible nucleotide sequences. This is pure combinatorics of synonymous codons; actual degeneracy is a consequence of the wobble hypothesis (Crick, 1966).
