functional protein 3) A frameshift mutat ion ❏ During translation, the codon AUG (codes for Methionine) always serves as the start codon to initiate translating, and codons UAA, UAG, and UGA are the stop codons (or nonsense codons) terminate protein synthesis and release the polypeptide from the translation machinery 15.2 ❏ Prokaryotes are single -celled organisms with circular chromosomes and no membrane -bound organelles, they do not have DNA wrapped around histones, and can have fragments of non-chromosomal DNA called plasmids ❏ Prokaryotic DNA is found in a central part of the cell: the nucleoid
