Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anticodons are complementary to codons and are read in the 3' to 5' direction, opposite to the 5' to 3' reading of codons. The codon AAG pairs with the anticodon UUC, which must be written in the 3' to 5' direction as given in option D.

If a Codon Is 5'-AAG-3', the Anticodon Is
