Single Choice

Select the correct option regarding genetic code of Glycine.

AGUU, GUC, GUA
BGAU, GAC, GAA
CGGU, GGA, GGC
Correct Answer
DGGU, GGA, GCU

Solution

The standard genetic code is represented as an RNA codon because, when proteins are made in a cell by ribosomes, it is mRNA that directs protein synthesis.
Glycine is an amino acid, a building block for protein. The genetic code of glycine is GGU, GGA, GGC.

So, the correct answer is 'GGU, GGA, GGC'
