Detailed explanation-1: -An anticodon is a trinucleotide sequence located at one end of a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule, which is complementary to a corresponding codon in a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence.
Detailed explanation-2: -When mRNA is translated into a polypeptide chain during translation, the codons of mRNA base pair with complementary RNA sequences in tRNA molecules (which carry amino acids to the growing polypeptide) at the ribosome. mRNA codons and tRNA anticodons are complementary to each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -Correct answer: An anticodon is the three-base sequence, paired with a specific amino acid, that a tRNA molecule brings to the corresponding codon of the mRNA during translation. The anticodon sequence is complementary to the mRNA, using base pairs in the anti-parallel direction.
Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct option is ‘UAC’
