The termination codes are recognized by:
Correct answer: D. Releasing factor
- A. Termination factor
- B. Elongation factor
- C. Initiation factor
- D. Releasing factor
Explanation
The termination codons, also known as stop codons, are recognized by proteins called release factors. These release factors bind to the A site of the ribosome when a stop codon (UAA, UAG, or UGA) enters the A site. Unlike tRNA molecules that carry amino acids, release factors do not carry an amino acid.

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.
