Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The genetic code is composed of three-nucleotide codons that are read sequentially by the protein-synthesizing machinery.

Answer: K
 UUA is a specific codon in the genetic code and is not related to any of the other terms given.

Answer: O
 Nonsense codons are codons that signal the end of protein synthesis and do not code for any amino acid.

Answer: Q
 The cloverleaf structure is a common secondary structure found in RNA molecules, including tRNA, which helps to stabilize the molecule.

Answer: A
 AUG is the start codon in the genetic code, which specifies the amino acid methionine and signals the beginning of protein synthesis.
