Question:

Which among the following are three stop terminator codons ?

Options:

UAA, UAG, GUA .

UGU,UAG,UGA .

UAA, UAG, UGA .

UAA, UGA, UUA .

Correct Answer:

UAA, UAG, UGA .

Explanation:

The correct answer is 3 . UAA, UAG, UGA.

These three codons, UAA, UAG, and UGA, serve as stop or termination codons in the genetic code. They signal the end of protein synthesis during translation. When a ribosome encounters one of these stop codons on the mRNA, it does not code for any amino acid, and translation is terminated.
