Vedclass · Answer

(D) The genetic code consists of $64$ codons,out of which $61$ code for amino acids and $3$ are stop codons (termination codons).$UAA$,$UAG$,and $UGA$ are the three stop codons that do not code for any amino acid.$UGG$ is a codon that codes for the amino acid Tryptophan.Therefore,$UGG$ is the odd one out as it is a sense codon,while the others are stop codons.
