The anticodon of tRNA coding for alanine was found to be CGU. What will be the triplet sequence on the anti-sense strand of DNA?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Anticodon is the triplet found on tRNA which is complimentary to mRNA and the mRNA is complimentary to the template(anti-sense) DNA strand used in transcription. Thus the sequence of tRNA will be same as the template DNA only interchanging T and U.

So, tRNA anti-codon - CGU will have DNA triplet as CGT.
