Question
what does the presence of aug ensure during translation? proper elongation proper termination proper initiation
In translation (protein synthesis), the codon AUG is the start codon. It signals the ribosome to begin translating the mRNA into a polypeptide chain, which is the initiation of translation. Elongation is the process of adding amino acids, and termination is signaled by stop codons (like UAA, UAG, UGA). So AUG ensures proper initiation.

proper initiation (assuming the third option is "proper initiation" as the text seems to have a typo, likely "initiation" instead of "inhibition")
