Problem 14: Codon-anticodon base pairing
|
With what mRNA codon would the tRNA in the diagram be able to form a
codon-anticodon base pairing interaction?
|
A.
|
3'-AUG-5'
The key is knowing that the sequences must be antiparallel. An anticodon of 5'-UAC would have to bind a codon of 5'-GUA which is the same as AUG-5'.
|
B.
|
3'-GUA-5'
|
C.
|
3'-CAU-5'
|
D.
|
3'-UAC-5'
|
E.
|
3'-UAG-5'
