The following numbered codons relate to the partial sequence of an mRNA for a protein. Termination codons are UAG, UGA, and UAA; the initiation codon is AUG. The triplets are numbered as shown: 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 UUG CUG CCA UAU UUA UGU GUU AAU Insertion of uridine between the end of codon 135 and the beginning of 136 will result in a protein containing how many amino acids?
