Q. Which one of the following triplet codes, is correctly matched with its specificity for an amino acid in protein synthesis or as 'start' or 'stop' codon ?

AIPMTAIPMT 2003Molecular Basis of Inheritance

Solution:

Codon UAC is correctly matched as it codes for amino acid tyrosine. UCG codes for serine, UUU codes for phenylalanine and UGU codes for cysteine. Start codon is AUG and stop codons are UAA, UAG and UGA.
