A) ochre
B) amber
C) initiation codon
D) termination codon
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The codon present in the beginning of a functional gene is called initiation codon. It marks the message for a polypeptide chain. This initiation codon is AUG in most of the cases and it codes for methionine (met) in eukaryotes and for N-formyl methionine (f-met) in prokaryotes. Less often, GUG also serves as initiation codon in bacterial protein synthesis. It is the normal codon for valine.
