Codon Characteristic Function A. UUU 1. Codes for Phenylalanine B. AUG 2. Acts as an initiator codon and codes for Methionine C. UAA, UAG, UGA 3. Function as stop codons D. Codon Redundancy 4. Code for different amino acids in different organisms
Options
- AA - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4
- BA - 3, B - 1, C - 2, D - 4
- CA - 1, B - 3, C - 2, D - 4
- DA - 2, B - 1, C - 4, D - 3
Correct answer
A. A - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4
Step-by-step solution
A - 1: UUU codes for Phenylalanine. B - 2: AUG acts as an initiator codon and also codes for Methionine. C - 3: UAA, UAG, and UGA function as stop codons. D - 4: Codon redundancy means that some codons can code for the same amino acid.
