In translation, the termination codon is:
Correct answer: A. UAA
- A. UAA
- B. UCG
- C. AUG
- D. UUU
Explanation
Translation is the process by which a cell makes proteins using the genetic information carried in messenger RNA (mRNA). The codons that cause the termination of protein synthesis are known as stop/terminator codons. The DNA stop codons are TAG, TAA, and TGA. The corresponding RNA, stop codons are UAG, UAA, and UGA. AUG is the most common start codon and it codes for amino acid methionine.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
