Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Each three-letter sequence of mRNA nucleotides corresponds to a specific amino acid, or to a stop codon. UGA, UAA, and UAG are stop codons. AUG is the codon for methionine, and is also the start codon.
Detailed explanation-2: -UGA is a stop signal in the universal genetic code, and this codon can also code for the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine (Sec) (6).
Detailed explanation-3: -CCA codon codes for proline amino acid. The anticodon for CCA is GGU.
