Which amino acid would you expect a tRNA with the anticodon 5?-CUU-3? to carry?

(a) lysine
(b) glutamic acid
(d) leucine
(d) phenylalanine


(a) As is conventional for nucleotide sequences, the anticodon is given reading from 5? to 3?. The complementary base-pairing occurs between antiparallel nucleic acid sequences, and the codon recognized by this anticodon will therefore be 5?-AAG-3?.
