Answer:

• O A. ACUUGGCGACGU

Step-by-step explanation:

Anticodons of tRNA have same sequence as of any DNA code they are for. Why? This is because original DNA is transcripted into a mRNA sequence which is complementary to the original DNA sequence. This mRNA is complementary to the original sequence while the anticodons on tRNA are again complementary to the mRNA sequence, which in-turn means that they have exactly same sequence as of original DNA. This is how they interpret the original cod and manifest the expression of correct amino acids as they are present in parents.

Hope that helps!
