Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Methionine: the mRNA codon is AUG, and the tRNA anticodon is UAC.
Detailed explanation-2: -The AUG start codon signals the ribosome to place in the amino acid methionine because the tRNA that has methionine attached to it has the anticodon sequence UAC.
Detailed explanation-3: -For instance, a messenger RNA codon GCA matches with the transfer RNA with the anticodon CGU, which carries with it the amino acid called alanine.
