|
CUU

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The codon on the mRNA will be 5’ AAG 3’. We can now determine the amino acid that will be carried by the tRNA by looking at the codon on the mRNA and cross-referencing it to a codon table. The codon AAG codes for the amino acid, lysine. Therefore, the tRNA with the anticodon 5’ CUU 3’ will carry a lysine.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, the codon CUG in mRNA is complementary to the anticodon GAC in the tRNA that carries leucine and will result in adding the amino acid leucine to the polypeptide chain.
