A tRNA with the anticodon sequence 5′ IUC 3′ will not normally exist because
A)5′ GAU 3′ and 5′ GAC 3′ specify asparagine, but 5′ GAA 3′ specifies glutamic acid.
B)5′ GAU 3′ and 5′ GAC 3′ specify different amino acids.
C)I is not a base present in tRNAs.
D)5′ GAU 3′ and 5′ GAC 3′ both specify asparagine.
