Solution

The correct answer is A. tRNA with anticodon ACU.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. The mRNA codon mentioned in the question is UGA.

  2. In the process of translation, tRNA molecules carry amino acids to the mRNA to be assembled into proteins. Each tRNA has an anticodon that is complementary to an mRNA codon.

  3. The rules of base pairing are: A pairs with U, and C pairs with G in RNA.

  4. Therefore, the tRNA anticodon that can bind to the mRNA codon UGA is ACU.

So, option A is the correct answer.
