[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
If the mRNA codon for alanine is GCA, then the correct anticodon would be:
|
|
CGU.
|
|
|
GCA.
|
|
|
CGT.
|
|
|
ACG.
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -For instance, a messenger RNA codon GCA matches with the transfer RNA with the anticodon CGU, which carries with it the amino acid called alanine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, CGU will be the GCA anticodon.
Detailed explanation-3: -The codon GCU on mRNA sequence codes for the alanine amino acid, and anticodon tRNA to this codon is CGA anticodon.
Detailed explanation-4: -Alanine (Ala) is the amino acid coded by the GCA codon.
