tRNAlys has which of the following anticodons 5AAG 3 5AAA3
tRNA^lys has which of the following anticodons? 5\'.AAG - 3\' 5\'AAA-3 5\'.CAU - 3\' 5\'.CUU - 3\' 5\'.UAC - 3\'
Solution
5\'-CUU-3\'
Explanation:
A codon is a three-base sequence (three nitrogen bases in a row) on mRNA. An anticodon is a three-base sequence on tRNA. It is complementary to the codon.
Lysine has two possible codons 5\'AAA3\', 5\'AAG3\', hence anticodon combinations are 5\'UUU3\' and 5\'-CUU-3\'
