Solution
The correct option is DAA8−AA5−AA1−AA3 Given here is the process of translation of the mRNA. Here the translating unit is formed by the tRNA and the ribosomes. The ribosomes then attache to the mRNA and the amino acids are bought by the tRNA. By recognizing the sequence on the mRNA molecule the ribosome starts bonding the amino acids into a chain.
This is the protein formation. The anticodon loop on tRNA has a complementary sequence for the mRNA molecule.
