|
|
UGA
|
|
|
UAA

|
UAG

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Final Answer: AUG is the most starter codon.
Detailed explanation-2: -The standard start codon for translation of a gene is “AUG, ” which encodes the amino acid methionine (Met or M), and establishes the reading frame for the ribosome to follow, adding corresponding amino acids in a polypeptide chain.
Detailed explanation-3: -ATG and AUG denote sequences of DNA and RNA respectively that are the start codon or initiation codon encoding the amino acid methionine (Met) in eukaryotes and a modified Met (fMet) in prokaryotes.
Detailed explanation-4: -The standard start codon is AUG. The standard stop codon is UAG, UGA and UAA. Usually codes for methionine. It terminates the amino acid coding sequence.
