Solution
The correct option is B (i - d) (ii - a) (iii - b) (iv - c) Degeneration codon is a codon which along with other codon/s specify for a single amino acid. AGA codes for arginine amino acid. The same amino acid is encoded by AGG, CGA, CGC, CGG, CGT codons. Initiation codon is the first codon of the mRNA. AUG is an initiation codon that codes for methionine. Non-sense codons causes termination of translation. There are 3 non-sense codons, namely UAG, UAA and UGA. Anti codon is a region present on tRNA that is complementary to a codon in the mRNA. Anti codon for TCA is AGU.
Thus, the correct answer is '(i - d) (ii - a) (iii - b) (iv - c).'
