Which among the following are three stop terminator codons ? |
UAA, UAG, GUA . UGU,UAG,UGA . UAA, UAG, UGA . UAA, UGA, UUA . |
UAA, UAG, UGA . |
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.
