Initiation codon of Eukaryotes is

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
The initiation codon of Eukaryotes is AUG.
RNA ring design predetermines AUG as the initiation codon. RNA ring design determines additional RNA ring gene- and tRNA-like properties described previously because it presumably mimics constraints on life's primordial RNAs. The mRNA sequence AUG, specifies methionine, the first amino acid used in the translation process.
While eukaryotic translation generally starts with the AUG codon, thus also known as the start codon. Prokaryotic translation permits frequent GUG and UUG initiation besides AUG.
