The DNA codon AGT codes for an amino acid carried by a tRNA with the anticodon ________.
A)TCU
B)AGU
C)TCA
D)AGT

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The anticodon on the tRNA that matches with the DNA codon AGT is AGU. This is because the anticodon on a tRNA molecule is complementary to the codon on the mRNA molecule. Since the DNA codon AGT would be transcribed into the mRNA codon UCA (due to complementary base pairing between A and U, and G and C), the anticodon on the tRNA that matches with UCA would be AGU (due to complementary base pairing between A and U, and G and C).
