If a tRNA molecule that is specialized for the transfer of the amino acid valine has the anticodon CAG, it will couple with the codon
A) GTC.
B) CAG.
C) TUG.
D) GAC.
E) GUC.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct pairing between a tRNA anticodon and an mRNA codon follows the rules of complementary base pairing, where adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) in RNA, and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). The anticodon CAG on the tRNA would pair with the codon GUC on the mRNA, as they are complementary to each other.
