A specific internal sequence of amino acids that ensures that the protein containing it will not survive long within the cell is called a(n)_______.
A)degradicon
B)degron
C)proteolicron
D)denocon
E)codon

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A degron is a specific internal sequence of amino acids that signals for the degradation of the protein containing it. The other choices, such as degradicon, proteolicron, and denocon, are not recognized terms in biology. A codon, on the other hand, is a sequence of three nucleotides that codes for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis.
