Answer:

The correct answer is option C which is AUG.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • AUG is the starting codon present on the mRNA and it codes for the methionine.
  • A codon is the 3 base sequence on the mRNA which is specified for a particular amino acid.
  • There is tRNA for a code which has complementary anti codon for that codon. As the codon binds to particular anticodon, it signal the tRNA for the specific amino acid to attache with poly peptide chain.
