If a codon in the mRNA is 5'-ACG-3', then the anticodon of the proper tRNA will be ____.
A) 5'-UGC-3'
B) 3'-CGU-5'
C) 5'-CGT-3'
D) 3'-CGT-5'
E) 5'-GCA-3'

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The anticodon of the tRNA is complementary to the codon of the mRNA and is read in the 3' to 5' direction, opposite to the 5' to 3' direction of the mRNA codon. Therefore, for the mRNA codon 5'-ACG-3', the correct anticodon is 3'-CGU-5'.

If a Codon in the MRNA Is 5'-ACG-3', Then the Anticodon
