(A-3, B-4, C-1, D-5, E-2) The genetic code is a set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material is translated into proteins.
- $(a)$ $UUU$ codes for Phenylalanine $(3)$.
- $(b)$ $GGG$ codes for Glycine $(4)$.
- $(c)$ $UCU$ codes for Serine $(1)$.
- $(d)$ $CCC$ codes for Proline $(5)$.
- $(e)$ $AUG$ codes for Methionine $(2)$,which also acts as the start codon.
Therefore,the correct matching is $(a-3, b-4, c-1, d-5, e-2)$.
