The answer is "Non-sense" codons
UAA, UAG, and UGA are stop codons that signal the end of protein synthesis. When they are reached on the mRNA, translation stops, and the completed protein is released from the ribosome.
UAA, UGA, and UAG are stop codons found at the end of mRNA sequences. When a ribosome encounters one of these stop codons during translation, it signals the end of protein synthesis and the release of the newly formed protein.
The number of codons needed to code for a protein varies depending on the length of the protein. Each amino acid is coded for by a specific sequence of three nucleotides (a codon). Therefore, you would need to divide the total number of nucleotides in the protein's gene sequence by 3 to find the number of codons required.
No, codons cannot be "unlocked." Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that code for specific amino acids during protein synthesis. Changing codons could alter the amino acid sequence of a protein, potentially leading to dysfunctional proteins.
The correct molecular involved in protein synthesis is DNA, messenger RNA, transfer RNA, and polypeptide. When a DNA is read, it produces a messenger RNA, amino acids are then matched with codons (transfer RNA) forming chains of polypeptides.

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.
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

UAG
The three letter code that indicates which amino acid comes next in a protein is called a codon. These codons are on the mRNA transcript that is read by ribosomes to translate into protein.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) contains codons, which are sequences of three nucleotides that encode specific amino acids during protein synthesis. Each codon in mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid or a signal to start or stop protein translation.
The number of codons on an mRNA strand depends on the length of the mRNA molecule. Each codon is made up of three nucleotide bases, so to determine the number of codons, you would need to know the total number of nucleotide bases on the mRNA strand and divide that number by 3.
Since each amino acid is encoded by a specific triplet of nucleotides (codon), you would need 50 codons to code for a protein that has 50 amino acids. Each codon corresponds to one amino acid, ensuring the correct sequence is produced during protein synthesis.
