Vedclass · Answer

(C) degenerate codon refers to a codon that codes for the same amino acid as another codon. Most amino acids are specified by more than one codon. $AUG$ is the start codon,which codes for methionine. It is unique because it is the only codon that codes for methionine (along with $UGG$ for tryptophan),making it a non-degenerate codon. $UUU$ codes for phenylalanine (along with $UUC$). $AGU$ codes for serine (along with $AGC$,$UCA$,$UCG$,$UCC$,$UCU$). $GUU$ codes for valine (along with $GUC$,$GUA$,$GUG$). Therefore,$AUG$ is the correct answer.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$A. \; AUG$	$1. \; \text{Phenylalanine}$
$B. \; UAA$	$2. \; \text{Methionine}$
$C. \; UUU$	$3. \; \text{Tryptophan}$
$D. \; UGG$	$4. \; \text{Termination}$
