In translation, the cell uses the genetic information contained in mRNA to make the proteins that carry out the cell's work.

DNA- 3'TAGCCTGAGTCCAGT 5’

Which of the following correctly identifies the tRNA anticodon for the first amino acid coded for with the DNA sequence shown above?
a. AUG
b. UAC
c. AUC
d. UAG

The correct option is d) UAG

Explanation:

Central dogma can be described as the process in which the transcription and translation occurs. The process by which mRNA is made from the DNA is called transcription and the process by which proteins are made by mRNA is called translation.

The first codon present on the DNA is TAG. The mRNA formed from this codon will be AUC. When this mRNA will travel from the nucleus to the cytoplam, the tRNA will bring the anticodons UAG for the first mRNA codon. Hence, the correct option is D.
