GUU or GUC tRNA anticodons(s) could decode the mRNA codon CAG (recall that codons are always written in the 5'—>3' direction and anticodons are written in the 3'—>5' direction).
Further Explanation
RNA is Ribonucleic Acid different from DNA by one ribose and RNA is single-stranded. Types of RNA are:
- mRNA
- tRNA
- rRNA
- snRNA
- SiRNA
Functions of RNA are:
- Carries information from DNA to a ribosome.
- Transmit genetic information.
- Play a role in splicing.
- Assemble protein.
In TRANSLATION processes, mRNA is converted to protein. To translate mRNA, it goes under much different processing before translating into protein, mainly in eukaryotes. Transfer ribonucleic acid is a kind of RNA that helps in decoding a messenger RNA sequence into a specific protein.
GUU or GUC can decode the mRNA codon CAG. A codon is mainly present on the mRNA molecule and anti-codon is present on the tRNA molecule. A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides, which specifies to each amino acid in the chain of the polypeptide.
