Which one of the following is a termination codon?

A AUG
B UAG
C UGU
D UUA

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) UAG

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

UAA, UAG and UGA are termination codons.

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.

The initial pressure and volume of a gas is ' \(\mathrm{P}\) ' and ' \(\mathrm{V}\) ' respectively. First by isothermal process gas is expanded to volume ' \(9 \mathrm{~V}\) ' and then by adiabatic process its volume is compressed to ' \(\mathrm{V}\) ' then its final pressure is (Ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to constant volume \(=\frac{3}{2}\) )

Two gases A and B having same initial state (P, V, n, T). Now gas A is compressed to \(\frac{\mathrm{V}}{8}\) by isothermal process and other gas \(B\) is compressed to \(\frac{V}{8}\) by adiabatic process. The ratio of final pressure of gas A and B is (Both gases are monoatomic, \(\gamma=5 / 3\) )
