Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In the standard genetic code, there are three specific codons that signal the termination of translation (protein synthesis). These are known as stop codons or nonsense codons. They are UAA (ochre), UAG (amber), and UGA (opal). The codon CUG codes for the amino acid Leucine.
