Alexis Krause · Answer 1

The correct answer is - UAC, CUU, AUC

Explanation:

Anticodon is a sequence of three bases present on the transfer RNA (tRNA). Anticodon is complimentary to the bases on messenger RNA (mRNA). During translation, anticodon pairs with the codon on a strand of mRNA.

Anticodon on the tRNA ensure that the correct amino acid will be added to making polypeptide chain during translation process of protein synthesis.

It is therefore, the anticodon are the complementary nucleotide base sequence of the codons on mRNA. Thus for the codes given on mRNA are AUG GAA and UAG, then the anticodons will be UAC, CUU and AUC on tRNA.
