Which of the following factors recognizes the UAG,UAA,and UGA codons?
A)RNA polymerase
B)DNA polymerase
C)termination factors
D)elongation factors

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Termination factors recognize the stop codons UAG, UAA, and UGA in mRNA sequences, which triggers the release of newly synthesized peptides and dissociation of the ribosome complex. RNA polymerase functions during transcription, DNA polymerase during DNA replication, and elongation factors are involved in peptide elongation during translation, but none of these factors recognize stop codons.
