The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding non-sense codons, we need to understand what nonsense codons are and identify them from the given options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Nonsense Codons**: - Nonsense codons, also known as stop codons, are specific sequences in mRNA that signal the termination of protein synthesis (translation). - They do not code for any amino acid and are recognized by the ribosome to stop translation. 2. **Identifying the Nonsense Codons**: - The three main nonsense codons (stop codons) in the genetic code are: - UAG (Amber) - UAA (Ochre) - UGA (Opal) 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - The question provides several options, and we need to identify which one contains the nonsense codons. - The options given are: - A: UUC UCG UGA - B: UGG UAA UGA - C: UUA UGA UAG - D: UAG UGA UAA 4. **Matching with Known Nonsense Codons**: - From the options, we look for UAG, UAA, and UGA. - Option D: UAG UGA UAA contains all three nonsense codons. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **Option D: UAG UGA UAA**. ### Final Answer: **Option D: UAG UGA UAA**
