Answer 2

Some points on initiation codon are as follows:-

1. It is the first codon of the coding area.

Examples:- AUG, GUG

2. AUG show dual nature i.e. it work as initiation codon and as well as it's a codon for methionine.

3. Methionine is formulated first in the case of prokaryotes.

4. GUG function as the initiation codon in case the AUG is not present in free bacteria.

Some points on termination codon are as follows:-

1. Such codon which do not codé for any t-RNA or amino acids they just read.

2. Termination codon is also known as stop codon.

3. UAA, UAG and UGA are the some examples of stop codon.

4. In about 90% cases UGA codon is used in the eukaryotes.
