Which of the following is a correct base pairing sequence between a codon and anticodon?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid, while an anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides on tRNA that complements and binds to a codon during translation. The base pairing sequence between a codon and anticodon always follows the rule of complementary base pairing.

Option C represents a valid base pairing sequence between a codon and an anticodon. The codon AUG (Start Codon) on mRNA pairs with the anticodon UAC on tRNA, which codes for the amino acid methionine. So, C is the best choice.
