The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the triplet codons that code for the amino acids serine and proline, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Codons**: A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid. We need to identify which of the provided codons correspond to serine and proline. 2. **List the Given Codons**: The codons provided in the question are: - I. UCC - II. CCA - III. AAG - IV. GGG 3. **Identify the Amino Acids**: - Using a codon chart or genetic code reference, we can determine which amino acids are coded by each of the given codons: - UCC codes for **serine**. - CCA codes for **proline**. - AAG codes for **lysine**. - GGG codes for **glycine**. 4. **Select the Correct Codons**: From the identification: - The codon for serine is **UCC** (I). - The codon for proline is **CCA** (II). 5. **Conclusion**: The triplet codons that code for serine and proline are: - I. UCC (serine) - II. CCA (proline) ### Final Answer: The correct triplet codons that code for the amino acids serine and proline are: - I. UCC - II. CCA ---
