What amino acid is carried by tRNA with anticodon, GUA?

Answer 1

Hi There! :)

What amino acid is carried by tRNA with anticodon, GUA?

The mRNA sequence that you have shown above has been given in triplets of bases. These triplets are called codons. Therefore the amino acid that tRNA will bring must be complementary to this hence called the anticodon. There is a rule. A always pairs with U (or T if it was a DNA strand) and C always pairs with G. 

For the first two triplets I will do the anticodon sequence then you can finish off : GUA GCC ..... 

Each codon or anticodon triplet codes for an amino acid. To find this out published tables are used. All the possible triplets will be on there. You will simply just have to read off the names of the amino acid stated next to it in that grid table.
