Which among the following is terminator codon ? |
UAA UAG UGA All of these |
All of these |
The correct answer is Option (4) – All of these Among the options provided, UAA, UAG, and UGA are all considered terminator codons. These codons signal the termination of protein synthesis during translation. When a ribosome encounters any of these codons in the mRNA sequence, it does not correspond to an amino acid, and the translation process stops. So, the correct answer is: All of these (UAA, UAG, and UGA) are terminator codons. U = uracil; A = adenine; G = guanine. |
