The Anticodon for the Triplet UCA Is

Question

The anticodon for the triplet UCA is
A) AGU.
B) AGC.
C) TCA.
D) TGT.
E) AGT.

Accepted Answer

The anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides forming a unit of genetic code in a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule, corresponding to a complementary codon in messenger RNA (mRNA). The anticodon for UCA (an mRNA codon) is AGU, because in RNA, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G).
