Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Look at your codon chart. Which codon would NOT make the amino acid Arg?
A
CGU
B
AGA
C
CGC
D
AGC
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -UCG is the anticodon on tRNA for AGC codon in an mRNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stop codons are also called nonsense codons because they do not code for an amino acid and instead signal the end of protein synthesis. Thus, nonsense mutations occur when a premature nonsense or stop codon is introduced in the DNA sequence.
