Q22 / 125 · BITSAT 2017 · Chemistry

The transfer RNA anticodon for the messenger RNA codon G-C-A is

  • Correct answer
    A
    C-G-U
  • B
    C-C-U
  • C
    U-C-C
  • D
    G-U-C

Solution

The transfer RNA anticodon for messanger RNA codon G-C-A is

C-G-U, because in anticodon of RNA,

G replaced by C
C replaced by G
A replaced by U

Here, C(cytosine) forms triple bond with G (guanine) and A (adenine) forms double bond with U (uracil).

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
