A part of an mRNA molecule with the following sequence is being read by a ribosome: 5'-GGC-UGC-3' (mRNA). The charged transfer R

NA molecules shown in the figure below (with their anticodons shown in the 3' to 5' direction) are available. Two of them can correctly match the mRNA so that a dipeptide can form:
tRNA Anticodon Amino Acid
GGC
Proline
CGU
Alanine
UGC
Threonine
CCG
Glycine
ACG
Cysteine
CGG
Alanine

Which of the following dipeptides will be formed?
Proline-Threonine
Glycine-Cysteine
Alanine-Alanine

Answer:

Alanine-Alanine

Explanation:

Alanine is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an amine group and a carboxylic acid group, both attached to the central carbon atom which also carries a methyl group side chain. In which depicts the correct answer of the chain Alanine-Alanine to where depeptides will be formed.
