Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So the right answer is option ‘UAG’.
Detailed explanation-2: -A sequence of three consecutive bases in a tRNA molecule which specifically binds to a complementary codon sequence in mRNA is known an anticodon.
Detailed explanation-3: -Anticodon. An anticodon is a unit of three nucleotides corresponding to the three bases of an mRNA codon. Each tRNA has a distinct anticodon triplet sequence that can form 3 complementary base pairs to one or more codons for an amino acid.
Detailed explanation-4: -A codon is a DNA or RNA sequence of three nucleotides (a trinucleotide) that forms a unit of genomic information encoding a particular amino acid or signaling the termination of protein synthesis (stop signals).
