DNA is transcribed to messenger RNA (mRNA), and the mRNA is translated to proteins on the ribosomes. A sequence of three nucleot

ides on an mRNA molecule is called a codon. As you can see in the table, most codons specify a particular amino acid to be added to the growing protein chain. In addition, one codon (shown in blue) codes for the amino acid methionine and functions as a "start" signal. Three codons (shown in red) do not code for amino acids, but instead function as "stop" signals.
Sort the following ten codons into one of the three bins, according to whether they code for a start codon, an in-sequence amino acid, or a stop codon
AUG, UAG, UAA, UGA, AAA, UGC, AUC, CAC, GCA, ACU

Answer:

start codon - AUG

in-sequence amino acid - AAA, UGC, AUC, CAC, GCA, ACU

stop codon - UAA, UAG, UGA

Explanation:

From the amino acid chart, the start codon is represented by the codon AUG which also code for the amino acid methionine. There are three stop codons including UAA, UAG, and UGA. The stop codons signal the end of the translation process of the mRNA. Every other codon within the mRNA chain codes for different amino acids except methionine.

Hence, using the attached amino acid chart:

start codon - AUG

in-sequence amino acid - AAA, UGC, AUC, CAC, GCA, ACU

stop codon - UAA, UAG, UGA
