The researcher could look for the presence of proteins, because viruses have a envelope (capsid) composed of proteins that involve their genetic material. The capsid may have a helical or icosahedral structure and is extremely regular. Viroids cannot synthesize any type of protein, so differentiation is possible.

If a tRNA molecule has an anticodon which reads Aug what was the codon of the mRNA molecule
jenyasd209 [6]
The answer is UAC.

In the RNA, base complements are adenine - uracil (A-U) and guanine -cytosine (G-C). So, when in the process of translation, anticodons of tRNA pairs with codons of mRNA, the complementary bases will pair. So, adenine in tRNA will pair uracil in mRNA (A → U), uracil in tRNA will pair adenine in mRNA (U → A), and guanine <span>in tRNA will pair cytosine in mRNA (G </span>→ C):
tRNA:      A U G
mRNA:    U A C
