if a particular segment of dna has the base sequence tac, what will be the base sequence of
the anticodon of the trna that carries the amino acid encoded by that stretch of dna?
o uac
o tac
o atg
o guc

Explanation:

1. Transcription:

• DNA is transcribed to mRNA. The DNA sequence TAC (template strand) is transcribed to AUG in mRNA (since in transcription, A pairs with U, T with A, and C with G).

1. Translation (tRNA anticodon):

• tRNA has an anticodon that pairs with the mRNA codon. The mRNA codon AUG pairs with the tRNA anticodon UAC (because in base - pairing between mRNA and tRNA, A pairs with U and G pairs with C).

Answer:

A. UAC
