This enzyme unwinds the DNA double helix
|
|
|
This is a set of 3 nucleotides on tRNAIf mRNA reads AUG, this will read UACThis forms hydrogen bonds with mRNA in the ribosome

None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -anticodon – a sequence of three nucleotides on a tRNA molecule that bond to a complementary sequence on an mRNA molecule. The anticodon sequence determines the amino acid that the tRNA carries.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -A codon is a three-nucleotide or triplet sequence found on mRNA that codes for a certain amino acid during translation. The anticodon is a three-nucleotide sequence found on tRNA that binds to the corresponding mRNA sequence. The amino acid transported by the tRNA molecule is determined by the anticodon sequence.
Detailed explanation-4: -Methionine: the mRNA codon is AUG, and the tRNA anticodon is UAC.
Detailed explanation-5: -The tRNA anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides that are the complement of the three nucleotides in the mRNA codon. The function of the anticodon is to help the tRNA find the appropriate amino acid that the mRNA codon specified.
