    The codon for anti-codon\[\text{3 }\!\!\!\!\text{ UUUA5 }\!\!\!\!\text{ }\]  is

    A)  \[\text{3 }\!\!\!\!\text{ -UUUA-5 }\!\!\!\!\text{ }\]      

    B) \[\text{5 }\!\!\!\!\text{ -UAAA-3 }\!\!\!\!\text{ }\]

    C)  \[\text{5 }\!\!\!\!\text{ -AAAU-3 }\!\!\!\!\text{ }\]      

    D)         \[\text{3 }\!\!\!\!\text{ -UAAU-5 }\!\!\!\!\text{ }\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Translation is a unidirectional process and taking place on ribosomes. In RNA the thymine of DNA is replaced by uracil. Codon and anticodon both found on RNA and are complementary to each other so, the codon for anticodon\[\text{3 }\!\!\!\!\text{ }\,\text{UUUA}\,5\text{ }\!\!\!\!\text{ ,}\] will be\[\text{5 }\!\!\!\!\text{ }\,\text{AAAU}\,\text{3 }\!\!\!\!\text{ ,}\]
