If a tRNA molecule's anticodon is 3'-AUG-5', which amino acid would it deliver during translation, assuming no post-translational modifications?

💡 Explanation

The tRNA anticodon must pair with the mRNA codon. The anticodon 3'-AUG-5' will bind to the mRNA codon 5'-UAC-3'. Because UAC specifies methionine during translation, therefore, the tRNA will deliver methionine, rather than other amino acids that correspond to different codons.
