Solution

The correct option is D UGG
Triplet UGC codes for cysteine; UGA and UAG are stop codons that causes termination of protein synthesis and does not code for any amino acid; UGG codes for tryptophan. Thus, the codon that specifies same information as “UGG” is UGG itself. Correct option is D.
