Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If a messenger RNA codon is UAC, which of the following would be the complementary anticodon triplet in the transfer RNA?
A
ATG
B
AUC
C
AUG
D
ATT
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If a messenger RNA codon is UAC, which of the following would be the complementary anticodon triplet in the transfer RNA? (A) ATG.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Using the base-pairing rules, we can generate the complementary sequence to UAC as AUG.

Detailed explanation-3: -Expert-Verified Answer The complementary anti-codon will be ATG, iff an mRNA codon reads UAC. ATG or also AUG is defined as the codon for methionine which means the translation initiation codon. The codon AUG, start codon is the first codon messenger of RNA (mRNA) transcript translated by a ribosome.

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore the anticodon for UUC is AAG, for AUC it is UAG, for CCG it is GGC, and for CGU it is GCA.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anticodon; UGA Tcode; TGU Codon; TGA 0d Codex; UGA. the corresponding mRNA codon would be ACU.
