Solution

The sequence of the tRNA anticodon that would add an amino acid to the C-terminus of the translated polypeptide sequence is 5’ AAC 3’.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. The mRNA sequence given is 5’ …CGU – CGC – ACG – UUG… 3’.

  2. The sequence that will add an amino acid to the C-terminus of the translated polypeptide sequence is the last one, which is UUG.

  3. In tRNA, Adenine (A) pairs with Uracil (U), and Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C).

  4. Therefore, the anticodon of UUG on the tRNA would be AAC.

So, the correct answer is 5’ AAC 3’.
