(Codes)

List II

(Codes for)

A. UUU I. Phenyalanine
B. AUG II. Initiator codon
C. UAA III. Terminator codon
D. GUU IV. Valine

 Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV

A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV

A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III

A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Correct Answer:

A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1)- A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV

List I

(Codes)

List II

(Codes for)

A. UUU I. Phenyalanine
B. AUG II. Initiator codon
C. UAA III. Terminator codon
D. GUU IV. Valine

A. UUU corresponds to I. Phenylalanine

  • UUU is the mRNA codon that codes for the amino acid phenylalanine.

B. AUG corresponds to II. Initiator codon

  • AUG is the codon that serves as the start codon or initiator codon, indicating the beginning of protein synthesis.

C. UAA corresponds to III. Terminator codon

  • UAA is one of the three stop codons or terminator codons, which signal the end of protein synthesis.

D. GUU corresponds to IV. Valine

  • GUU is the mRNA codon that codes for the amino acid valine.
