Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

The amino acid is translated by the set of three bases known as codon, where AUG is the start codon and UAG, UAA, and UGA are the stop codons when in the mRNA strand these codons will result at the end of translation.
From the given polypeptide chain, each amino acid codon can be predicted like:
The first (met) and third amino acid are coded by the codon AUG, Second (phe) and fourth amino acid is coded by a codon UUC, Fifth (trp) and seventh amino acid is coded by the codon UGG, and sixth amino acid (val) is coded by a codon GUG.
