### Understanding Anticodons and Amino Acids
In this section, we will analyze a given tRNA anticodon sequence and determine which amino acid it corresponds to using a codon chart.
#### Problem Statement
An anticodon on a tRNA has the sequence 3' UAC 5'. What amino acid would it be charged with?
*(Choose all that apply)*
#### Explanation
The anticodon 3' UAC 5' pairs with the mRNA codon 5' AUG 3'. Using a standard codon chart, we can determine which amino acid corresponds to this codon.
#### Codon Chart Analysis
The codon chart below helps identify amino acids based on mRNA codon sequences:
```
Second base
U C A G
U UUU UCU UAU UGU
UUC UCC UAC UGC
UUA UCA UAA UGA
UUG UCG UAG UGG
C CUU CCU CAU CGU
CUC CCC CAC CGC
CUA CCA CAA CGA
CUG CCG CAG CGG
A AUU ACU AAU AGU
AUC ACC AAC AGC
AUA ACA AAA AGA
AUG ACG AAG AGG
G GUU GCU GAU GGU
GUC GCC GAC GGC
GUA GCA GAA GGA
GUG GCG GAG GGG
```
In this chart:
- *The first base* of the codon is represented vertically on the left.
- *The second base* is represented horizontally at the top.
- *The third base* is represented vertically on the right.
#### Analysis
- The mRNA codon 5' AUG 3' falls in the cell where:
- **First base (vertical left)**: A
- **Second base (horizontal top)**: U
- **Third base (vertical right)**: G
#### Result
- According to the codon chart, 5' AUG 3' codes for the amino acid
