The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Codons**: Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that correspond to specific amino acids or signal the termination of protein synthesis. 2. **Start and Stop Codons**: In the process of translation, the ribosome reads the mRNA sequence. The translation begins with a start codon (AUG) and ends with stop codons. 3. **Identifying Stop Codons**: The stop codons are specific sequences that signal the end of protein synthesis. There are three known stop codons in the genetic code. 4. **Listing the Stop Codons**: The three stop codons are: - UAA - UAG - UGA 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the codons causing chain termination (stop codons) are UAA, UAG, and UGA. ---
