Question

any two functions of the codon AUG

Answer 1

During translation, AUG acts as an initiator of protein synthesis as well as a codon for methionine (Met) incorporation at internal protein positions in eukaryotes and an N-formylmethionine (fMet) in prokaryotes.

(i) It codes for the amino acid methionine. (ii) It also acts as an initiator codon

Answer 2

AUG acts initiator of protein synthesis....

Codes for Methionine incorporation at internal protein position in eukaryotes and N-formylmethionine in prokaryotes.....
