#Question id: 4237

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

A part of an mRNA molecule with the following sequence is being read by a ribosome: 5′-CCGACG- 3′ (mRNA). The following charged transfer RNA molecules (with their anticodons shown in the 3′ to 5′ direction) are available. Two of them can correctly match the mRNA so that a dipeptide can form. Which of the following dipeptides will form from this mRNA?
