Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Shine-Dalgarno sequence is responsible for ribosomal binding during translation initiation, while the AUG is the start codon that signals the beginning of translation. Therefore, the underlined sequence is likely the Shine-Dalgarno sequence, and the bolded AUG is likely the start codon.
