|
AUG
|
|
UGA
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are 3 STOP codons in the genetic code-UAG, UAA, and UGA.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In the genetic code 11 (the bacterial, archaeal, and plant plastid code), the stop codons are UAA, UAG, and UGA.
Detailed explanation-4: -The three stop codons have been given names-UAG is amber, UGA is opal, and UAA is ochre.
