This is a question that's asking us about how codons are put together and speculation about how they might have been put together before people understood.
00:10
Before i get going, let me write down that the answer is c.
00:15
And what we're interested in is how many codons can we have with no overlap between the codons, which is exactly how it is in living things, and with sort of maximum overlap.
00:30
So i have a -u -g -u -u -a -c -g -g and a -a -a -a -u -a -u -u.
00:47
So the question gave us four codons.
00:51
And to be read with no overlap, that would be one codon, that would be two codons, that would be three codons, and that would be four.
01:00
So with no overlap between the codons, which means that each of the bases only counts once in a codon, you can only be in one codon, that means we have four codons.
01:20
I'm going to write that again.
01:22
A, u, g, u, u, a, c, g, g, g, g, a, c, g, a, and.
01:36
So how many codons can we have with maximum overlap? well, first of all, each codon, which base would be part of these four codons, the same as before.
01:49
So that would be four, that we get four codons on of this...
