Vedclass · Answer

(C) The correct answer is $C$. $AUG$ is the initiation codon and codes for methionine. It does not perform three functions. Genetic code is triplet (three nitrogenous bases code for one amino acid). Genetic code is universal,meaning a specific codon codes for the same amino acid in all organisms from bacteria to humans. The code is read on $mRNA$ in a contiguous fashion without any punctuation.
