Question

the trna shown in the diagram will be able to form a base - pair interaction with which mrna?
a) acu - 3
b) uca - 5
c) 5 - agu
d) uga - 3

Explanation:

In RNA - RNA base - pairing, adenine (A) pairs with uracil (U) and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). Also, the pairing is anti - parallel. tRNA pairs with mRNA in an anti - parallel fashion. If we assume the tRNA has a sequence complementary to the mRNA sequence in an anti - parallel orientation.

Answer:

C. 5'-AGU
