Which one of the following triplet codon is known as initiation codon?
UUU
UAA
AUG
UGA
C.
AUG
AUG and GUG are called initiation codons because they initiate the polypeptide chain. UAA (Ochre), UAG (Amber) and UGA (Opal) are termination codons. If these codons are present in mRNA, the protein synthesis stops abruptly, whether the protein synthesis is complete or not.
UUU codes for phenylalanine.

right handed helix with 12 nucleotide pairs per turn
