the initiation codon AUG codes for which amino acid?
Answers
AUG is the most common START codon and it codes for the amino acid methionine (Met) in eukaryotes and formyl methionine (fMet) in prokaryotes. During protein synthesis, the tRNA recognizes the START codon AUG with the help of some initiation factors and starts translation of mRNA.
Hii,
The Amino Acid is Methionine
Thanks

Heya mate, ❤
DNA is the genetic material which is inherited from parents to progeny. but DNA cannot express itz trait thus it do translate itz genetic information in the form of protein
Indirectly, From Nulcleotide Base to Amino acid through the process of translation given by Central Dogma from Frencis Crick.

Coming Towards Question,
AUG do contain 3 Nucleotide bases i. e., Adenin, Uracil, Guanine which also act as initiation codon and also codes for .
