The following question refers to this table of codons.

Refer to the figure. Which of the triplets below is a possible anticodon for a tRNA that transports proline to a ribosome?
A) 3′-UUC-5′ 
B) 3′-CCG-5′ 
C) 3′-GGC-5′ 
D) 3′-CCC-5′

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The codon for proline is 3′-CCU-5′, so the anticodon of the tRNA that transports proline should be complementary to it, in the 5′ to 3′ direction. Therefore, the possible anticodon for the tRNA that transports proline is 3′-GGC-5′.
