a stop codon (or termination codon) is a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination of translation.
Three codons UAG,UAA & UGA are the stop codons, which denotes the end of the protien.

WHEREAS STOP CODONS ARE THE CODONS WHICH CODES FOR NOTHING AND SIGNIFIES THE END OF THE PROCESS OF TRANSLATION, THEY ARE 3 THEIR CODES ARE "UAA" ,"UAG" AND "UGA".

Which codons are the stop signals?
There are three such codons known as stop codons, which are UAA, UAG, or UGA.
WHAT IS FUNCTION OF THE CODONS UAAUAGUGA?
UAA, UAG, UGA are the 3 stop codons in the genetic code. Stop codons don't code for an amino acid because they cannot be recognized by a tRNA.
The termination codons that serve as stop signals for the protein synthesis is called?
The answer is "Non-sense" codons
Why must stop codons be present on DNA molecules?
stop codons signify the end of a polypeptide. They're like a period at the end of a sentance.
How many codons are in aaaugcucguaa?
There are four codons in AAA UGC UCG UAA. A codon is a sequence made of three nitrogenous bases. Codons have particular features, making it possible for them to be start codons, stop codons, introns, or exons.
How many start and stop codons are there?
There are 2 stop codons and 2 start codons
Which codons are the stop signals?
There are three such codons known as stop codons, which are UAA, UAG, or UGA.
WHAT IS FUNCTION OF THE CODONS UAAUAGUGA?
UAA, UAG, UGA are the 3 stop codons in the genetic code. Stop codons don't code for an amino acid because they cannot be recognized by a tRNA.
When does translation end?
Translation ends when a stop codon is reached. The stop codons are: * UAA * UAG * UGA
Does every codon represent an amino acid?
No, not every codon represents an amino acid. There are several codons known as "stop" codons (UGA, UAA, UAG) that do not code for an amino acid; instead they code for the termination of translation.
The termination codons that serve as stop signals for the protein synthesis is called?
The answer is "Non-sense" codons
All except three codons provide codes for amino acids These three codons are used as signals?
Of the 64 codons, the three that do not code for amino acids are stop codons.The stop codons are:TAG in DNA (UAG in mRNA)TAA (UAA)TGA (UGA)They signify the end of the gene, i.e. the end of the segment to be transcribed and translated.
Why must stop codons be present on DNA molecules?
stop codons signify the end of a polypeptide. They're like a period at the end of a sentance.
How many protein-coding codons are there?
61 codons specify the amino acids used in proteins and 3 codons (stop codons) signal termination of growth of the polypeptide chain...so 64 total
What 3 codons do not carry amino acids?
There are three codons that do not code for any amino acids: the stop codons. These are TAG, TAA, and TGA (in DNA, not RNA).
What codons stop protein synthesis?
UAA, UAG, and UGA are stop codons.Sequence UAA, UAG, and UGA are the three stop codons. There is only one start codon, AUG.
How many codons are in aaaugcucguaa?
There are four codons in AAA UGC UCG UAA. A codon is a sequence made of three nitrogenous bases. Codons have particular features, making it possible for them to be start codons, stop codons, introns, or exons.
