Detailed explanation-1: -Which anticodon would bind to the mutated codon? The tRNA anticodon UAG is complementary to AUC, which is the sequence of the mRNA produced from the mutated DNA. Scientists can put a human gene into bacteria and have those bacteria produce the protein coded for by the human gene.
Detailed explanation-2: -The anticodon on the tRNA that delivers the methionine to the ribosome is UAC, whereas tRNAs with anticodons of AAU, AAC, GAA, GAG, GAU, and GAC deliver leucine.
Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore the anticodon for UUC is AAG, for AUC it is UAG, for CCG it is GGC, and for CGU it is GCA.
Detailed explanation-4: -Since they do not code for any amino acid, they obviously, do not have corresponding tRNA molecules that have the respective anticodons or carry the amino acids. Thus, the corresponding anticodons do not exist.
