Which of the following correctly assigns the codons for glycine?

A

GGG, GGC, GGA

B

AAA, AAG, AAC

C

AUG, AUA, AUC

D

CCC, CCG, CGA

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The correct answer is A) GGG, GGC, GGA because these are the specific codons that code for the amino acid glycine in the genetic code. Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that correspond to specific amino acids, and glycine is uniquely represented by the codons GGG, GGC, and GGA. The other options represent codons for different amino acids, making them incorrect for this question.
