Which of the following is the start codon in protein translation?
Explanation
ExplanationThe start codon indicates the start of protein translation after the 5’-untranslated region (UTR) and the ribosome binds to the start codon in the mRNA. AUG is the sole start codon and codes for the amino acid Methionine. UAA, UAG and UGA are the three stop codons that indicate the termination of protein translation.
