Which of these initiation code?
Correct answer: B. AUG
- A. AUU
- B. AUG
- C. UGA
- D. UCC
Explanation
The initiation codon, which also serves as the start codon for protein synthesis, is AUG. This codon codes for the amino acid methionine and signals the beginning of translation. In addition to encoding methionine, AUG also functions as the site where the ribosome begins the process of translation, ensuring that the correct reading frame is established for protein synthesis.
