Vedclass · Answer

(D) An anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides forming a unit of genetic code in a transfer $RNA$ $(tRNA)$ molecule,corresponding to a complementary codon in messenger $RNA$ $(mRNA)$.Stop codons (also known as termination codons) are $UAA$,$UAG$,and $UGA$.These codons do not code for any amino acid and do not have corresponding $tRNA$ molecules with anticodons in the cell under normal physiological conditions.Therefore,$UAA$ is a stop codon and does not function as an anticodon.
