Multiple choice

A small segment of DNA contains the base sequences CGT. If an mRNA transcript is made that includes this DNA sequences, what will be the anticodon on the tRNA that will bind to corresponding mRNA codon for this DNA tripler?

  1. CGT

  2. GCA

  3. CGU

  4. GCT

C Correct answer
Explanation

A DNA triplet of CGT would yield an mRNA codon of GCA. The complementary tRNA anticodon would therefore be CGU.
