When translation of a particular protein is complete, termination of protein synthesis is indicated by the presence of a/an
A)promoter
B)amino acid
C)stop codon
D)start codon
E)carrier protein

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stop codon signals the end of the protein-coding sequence in an mRNA molecule and therefore indicates the termination of protein synthesis. Promoters and start codons are involved in the initiation of protein synthesis, while amino acids and carrier proteins are involved in the process of building the protein.
