Troyanec [42]

Answer: UAC

Explanation: transfer RNA(tRNA) is the type of RNA that interprets the messenger RNA(mRNA) code during translation. The job of tRNA is to match up the amino acids with the correct codons in the mRNA strand. According to the base pair rule for RNA, Adenine and Uracil (A - U) are base complements while Guanine and Cytosine (G - C) are base complements. So if;
