Vedclass · Answer

Synthesis of polypeptide terminates when a nonsense codon of $mRNA$ reaches the $A-$ site. There are three nonsense codons-$UAA, \,UAG$ and $UGA$. These codons are not recognised by any of the $tRNAs$. Therefore, no more aminoacyl $tRNA$ reaches the $A$ site. The $P-$ site $tRNA$ is hydrolysed and the completed polypeptide is released in the presence of a release factor.

Assertion : $UAA,\,UAG$ and $UGA$ terminate protein synthesis.

Reason : They are not recognised by $tRNA$.
