Question
During protein synthesis, UAG functions as the stop codon in mRNA. What should be the anticodon on the rRNA molecule that picks up and brings the specified by the codon?

Solution
The correct option is D None of the above
Start codons start translation so it is logical that stop codons stop translation.
No tRNAs in the cell have anticodons that complement any of the three stop codons. There are proteins called termination factors which recognise and bind to the stop codons (UAG, UGA, and UAA) terminating the process of protein synthesis.
