What is the anticodon to the DNA sequence CTG ACG TTA?

Correct Answer: C. CUG ACG UUA
The tRNA has the anticodon to the codon on the mRNA. To solve this problem, you must first transcribe the mRNA from the given DNA strand, which would result in: GAC UGC AAU. Note: For the mRNA, A (Adenine) pairs with U (Uracil) not T (Thymine). Next, you have to find the complementary bases to the mRNA to determine the anticodon. So, the anticodon would be: CUG ACG UUA.
