Vedclass · Answer

(B) In the genetic code,there are $64$ codons in total,out of which $61$ code for amino acids and $3$ are stop codons (also known as termination codons).These $3$ stop codons are $UAA$ (Ochre),$UAG$ (Amber),and $UGA$ (Opal).They do not code for any amino acid and signal the termination of the polypeptide chain synthesis during translation.Therefore,the correct set of stop codons is $UGA, UAG, UAA$.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$(p)$ $UUU$	$(1)$ $Pro$
$(q)$ $AAA$	$(2)$ $Gly$
$(r)$ $CCC$	$(3)$ $Phe$
$(s)$ $GGG$	$(4)$ $Lys$
