Question

During translation, when a stop codon is read on the mRNA strand at the ribosome...

 a
the mRNA is digested by a protease complex
 b
a repressor attached to the ribosome that inhibits the movement of the ribosome along the mRNA

Codons are...

 a
triplets coding for a single amino acid.
 b
redundant in their coding for various amino acids.
 c
matched with anticodons during translation
