In mitochondrial DNA the codon AGG codes For:
Correct answer: A. Arginine
- A. Arginine
- B. Tryptophan
- C. Methionine Stop Codon
- D. 1-butene.
Explanation
In mitochondrial DNA, the codon AGG indeed codes for the amino acid arginine. Codons are sequences of three nucleotides that specify a particular amino acid during protein synthesis. AGG is one of the codons that specifically codes for arginine. Mitochondrial DNA plays a crucial role in the production of proteins essential for mitochondrial function.
