Answer:

Met - Lys - Gly - Glu - Arg - Leu - Tyr (some of these are not there)

Step-by-step explanation:

tRNA anticodons are complementary to the mRNA codon.

  • A on the mRNA corresponds to U on the tRNA.
  • U on the mRNA corresponds to A on the tRNA.
  • G on the mRNA corresponds to C on the tRNA
  • C on the mRNA corresponds to G on the tRNA

AUG corresponds to UAC (Met)

AAG corresponds to UUC (Lys)

GGC corresponds to CCG - not there, but corresponds to Glycine

CAA corresponds to GUU - not there, but corresponds to Glutamic acid

CGA corresponds to GCU - not there but corresponds to Arginine

CUU corresponds to GAA - not there but corresponds to Leucine

UAU corresponds to AUA - not there but corresponds to Tyrosine
