UAA, UAG, and UGA are stop codons.
Sequence UAA, UAG, and UGA are the three stop codons. There is only one start codon, AUG.

What is the process by which a protein is constructed?
Protein Synthesis :), also known as TRANSLATION.
Why do plants and animal and other organisms need nitrogen?
Nitrogen is required by plants and animals for protein synthesis
What are two parts of protein synthesis?
transcription and translation
Why do dogs have ribosomes?
Dogs also need proteins.So they need ribosomes.
What is the funtion of ribosomal RNA?
ribosomal RNA (or rRNA) is a part of the ribosomes usually found on the Endoplasmic Reticulum. Hope this helps! rRNA helps build the proteins. It decodes mRNA into amino acids and provides peptide bonds for amino acids.
The termination codons that serve as stop signals for the protein synthesis is called?
The answer is "Non-sense" codons
What are the punctuation codons?
Punctuation codons are the three stop codons in the genetic code: UAA, UAG, and UGA. These codons signal the termination of translation during protein synthesis.
Synthesis of a protein stops when?
it stops when an amino acid is missing from the diet
Why is it important that a signal to stop translation be part of protein synthesis?
They signal to stop protein synthesis and release the amino acid chain. Stop codons are important because they signal the end of synthesis. Sometimes, mRNA is longer than what is needed for the amino acids so without stop codons, synthesis would continue until the end of the strand of RNA, leaving you with an incorrect amino acid chain.
What mRNA codons would cause synthesis of a protein to terminate?
UAG
Which organelle plays a part in protein synthesis?
There are a number of organelles that assist in protein synthesis. The main ones are ribosome and the codons which are found in the cytoplasm.
What meaning do the first and last codons have for protein synthesis?
Codons are used for making amino acids. Some codons will tell the ribosomes to start tell the tRNA to make the amino acids or to stop making amino acids. I like to think of the start/initiator/promoter codon(AUG) as a capital letter in a sentence and the stop/terminator codons(UAA, UAG, and UGA) as periods in a sentence.
What happens after the ribosome reaches the start codon?
When a ribsome reaches a stop codon, the translation process stops and a protein is released.
How do you stop protein synthesis?
you can't
What role do stop codons play in protein synthesis?
Anticodon of the DNA is needed to make RNA that has the code that the codon has. Since DNA is a double helix, then one of the strains has the codon and the other is anticodon.
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
Protein synthesis in eukaryotes is similar to the process in prokaryotes in that both eukaryotes and prokaryotes?
use codons to determine polypeptide sequences
