Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Three of these codons are stop codons: UAA, UAG, and UGA. The remaining 61 codons encode 20 amino acids. Out of these 61 codons, the codon AUG (which encodes the amino acid methionine) also serves as a the start signal (start codon) for translation initiation.
Detailed explanation-2: -This leads to a total of 10 codons in the mRNA sequence AUGGCAGUGCCA as AUG, UGG, GGC, GCA, CAG, AGU, GUG, UGC, GCC, CCA.
