AIIMS 2018 Botany Genetic Code MCQ Question
Which of the following is codons codes for proline.
CCC, CCU, CCG
UCC, UGU, CCU
CUG, CUU, CUA
CGC, CGG, CCA
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Option A is correct because the codons CCC, CCU, and CCG all code for the amino acid proline in the genetic code. Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that correspond to specific amino acids during protein synthesis. The other options contain codons that correspond to different amino acids: option B includes serine and cysteine, option C includes leucine, and option D includes arginine and proline, but does not exclusively represent proline codons. Understanding the genetic code and the specific codons for each amino acid is essential for grasping the fundamentals of molecular biology and protein synthesis.
