What is another word for Stop Codon?
Pronunciation: [stˈɒp kˈɒdɒn] (IPA) 
Stop codon, also known as termination codon or nonsense codon, is a sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that signals the end of a protein synthesis chain. There are three types of stop codons, UAA, UAG, and UGA, and they are essential for the proper functioning of the translation process. Despite their crucial role in protein synthesis, there are several synonyms for stop codons. Some of these include chain termination codon, amber codon, ochre codon, and opal codon. These synonyms help researchers and scientists in understanding the genetic code and the role of stop codons in various cellular processes.
