What will be the anti-coden of AUG?
Correct answer: C. UAC
- A. TAC
- B. ATC
- C. UAC
- D. UTC
Explanation
AUG is the start codon that signals ribosomes to place in the amino acid methionine because the tRNA that has methionine attached to it has the anticodon sequence UAC. Therefore, the answer will be C.

About Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)
Ribonucleic acid is generally a single-stranded nucleic acid containing ribose and uracil instead of thymine. Coverage includes mRNA, tRNA and rRNA, complementary base pairing, transcription and translation, and the differences between RNA and DNA in structure, location and biological function.
