Question

f a tRNA molecule has an anticodon which reads CAG, what will it match up with and what amino acid is it carrying?

Answer 1

If you mean that the 5' to 3' read of the anticodon is CAG then the codon it binds is GUC in the mRNA. This is because double strands bind in the opposite directions with G binding C and A binding T (or U in RNA). I'll let you figure the amino acid out from the table on the following website:

Sorry - not cool - I thought ethanP had replied. The idea of this site is to encourage understanding and learning, so answering other people's questions directly doesn't really do them any favours. Explain how you drew the conclusion if you must give the answer.
