Question

identify the stop codon used in the interactive. uag cac aug uga identify why this codon functions as a stop codon. it is a stop codon that does not code for an amino acid. it is formed by a mutation and has no corresponding mrna anticodon. it codes for an amino acid that the cell is not able to produce. it is composed of dna nucleotides which signal for translation to cease.

Explanation:

In molecular biology, there are three stop - codons: UAG, UAA, and UGA. They do not code for an amino acid. When the ribosome encounters a stop - codon during translation, it signals the end of protein synthesis. AUG is a start - codon, and CAC codes for histidine. Stop - codons do not have corresponding tRNA anticodons.

Answer:

1. A. UAG, D. UGA
2. A. It is a stop codon that does not code for an amino acid.
