Answer:

The correct answer is AUU, AUC and AUA all code for Ile.

Explanation:

A codon refers to an arrangement of three RNA or DNA nucleotides, which relates with a particular amino acid or stop signal at the time of the synthesis of protein. Each codon resembles to a single amino acid or stops signal, and the entire arrangement of codons is known as the genetic code.  

A codon is degenerative, which signifies that one amino acid may be implicit by more than one codon. Thus, it is correct that isoleucine can be implicit or specified by all the distinct AUU, AUA, and AUC codons.
