Identify DNA base pairing rules

In DNA, nitrogenous bases pair specifically through hydrogen bonding. Adenine (A) always pairs with Thymine (T), and Cytosine (C) always pairs with Guanine (G). Therefore, the matching pairs are:

• A pairs with T
• T pairs with A
• C pairs with G
• G pairs with C

Determine codon to anticodon pairing

A codon is a three-nucleotide sequence on mRNA, and the anticodon is the complementary three-nucleotide sequence on tRNA.

• RNA uses Uracil (U) instead of Thymine (T).
• The base pairing rules for RNA are: Adenine (A) pairs with Uracil (U), and Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G).
• For the mRNA codon GAU:
• G pairs with C
• A pairs with U
• U pairs with A
• Therefore, the complementary tRNA anticodon is CUA.
