Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
e
e) Eukaryotic mRNA is called monocistronic i.e., formed from one gene. These have been described to contain only 1 initiation site, who gave one mRNA-one polypeptide chain hypothesis.
The terminator codon is present on mRNA molecule, which stops the formation of a polypeptide chain at that point, the three termination codons are UGA, UAA and UAG.
