answered by Lifeeasy Authors. 1  The ribosome moves forward on the m-RNA, one codon at a time and finally reaches the termination codon (UAA/ UAG/ UGA). 2  As termination codon does not code for any amino acid, the polypeptide chain breaks and the protein molecule is seperated.
Once you have your first stop codon, the probability that the next three bases forms a stop codon is 3/64, but more importantly the probability of NOT getting a stop codon is 61/64. So the average number of bases between stop codons is three times however many powers of 61/64 it takes to get below 0.5, something like 14 codons.
