Q. One of the following is true with respect to $AUG$

Molecular Basis of Inheritance

Solution:

$AUG$ one of the codes in the genetic code is the initiation code which means that it is the first codon of a messenger $RNA$ $(mRNA)$ transcript translated by a ribosome. The start codon always codes for methionine an amino acid and is universal and codes for the same in both the prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
