Solution

The correct option is A UAG
The nucleotide found in the triplet form in the genetic code within a messenger RNA that signals the termination of translation into proteins is called a stop codon. There are three stop codons found in the genetic code. These are UAG (amber), UAA (ochre) and UGA (opal).
So, the correct option is A.
