Write all possible codons recognized by each of the given anticodons. An anticodon strand reads 5'–GCG–3'. Fill in the missing b

Answer:

Codon: 3'-CGC-5'

Codon: 3'-UGC-5'

Explanation:

tRNA anticodons pair with the corresponding codons on mRNA. mRNA codons are consistently read in the 5' to 3' direction. The base at the 5' end of an mRNA codon aligns with the 3' end of the corresponding tRNA anticodon. The first base of the anticodon (the one at the 5' end) determines how many mRNA codons the tRNA can recognize. If the 5' base of the tRNA anticodon is U or G, the binding with the codon is less precise. A tRNA anticodon featuring a 5’ G base can correspond to two distinct codons.

Anticodon:  5'–GCG–3'.

Codon: 3'-CGC-5'

Codon: 3'-UGC-5'
