UGA will stop the translation process therefore only producing two amino acids. To initiate mother start codon must be found.

3 amino acid will be encoded then why 2?

No, B is Right I agree @Alex.

Rita said:   8 years ago
How is it possible?

Correct answer is C because UGA is a stop codon.

Alex said:   8 years ago
The answer is right UGA is a stop codon and terminates the chain and hence there are only two amino acids.

The answer is totally wrong.
GAU codes for aspartic acid.
GGU codes for glycine.
UGA codes for nothing its a stop codon.
UGU codes for cysteine.

I am confuse about this. How this possible? Which codon act as start codon and how the 2 amino acid encoded? Can you explain?
