One of the codons for glycine is 5' GGU 3'. Which of the following is the anticodon for this codon?
A) 5' ACC 3'
B) 5' UAA 3'
C) 5' CCU 3'
D) 5' CCA 3'

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides forming a unit of genetic code in a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule, corresponding to a complementary codon in messenger RNA (mRNA). The anticodon for 5' GGU 3' (glycine) in mRNA would be 5' ACC 3' in tRNA, as base pairing occurs between adenine (A) and uracil (U) and between cytosine (C) and guanine (G) in RNA.
