Which of the following is a termination codon?

✅Explanation:
In mRNA, specific sequences of three nucleotides (codons) code for amino acids during protein synthesis. Termination codons signal the end of protein translation. UAG, along with UAA and UGA, are all recognized as stop codons by release factors, halting protein synthesis.

📌📌Other Options:
-AUG: This codon codes for the amino acid methionine and typically initiates protein translation.
-AGU: This codon can code for the amino acid serine.
-GaU: This codon can code for the amino acid aspartic acid.

🛑 Additional Information:
-A codon is a sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides that encode for a specific amino acid or stop signal during protein synthesis (Translation).
-The full set of codons is called the genetic code and each codon encodes for a single amino acid.
-The genetic code includes a Total of 64 possible permutations, or combinations, of three-letter nucleotide sequences that can be made from the four nucleotides.
-Out of 64 codons, 61 codons code for amino acids and the rest 03 are stop codons, which do not specify any amino acids. So there are 61 effective codons for the synthesis of twenty amino acids.
-Stop codons are also called nonsense codons, which are amber (UAG) ochre (UAA), and opal (UGA).
-They encode no amino acid. The ribosome pauses and falls off the mRNA
-For the Nonsense codon, no normal tRNA molecule exists, This nonsense codon causes the termination of translation, so these are called stop Codon
