(c)
Interpretation:
The anticodon sequence for Trp residue in the tRNA is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The tRNA is used in the synthesis of protein. The tRNA has a cloverleaf shape structure. It contains two specific sites, one is anticodon loop that attaches to mRNA and other is 3' terminal that attaches to the specific amino acid. The anticodon is a three-base sequence on tRNA. The anticodon loop has three bases that are complementary to the base sequence present in mRNA codon.

Answer to Problem 27.20P
The anticodon sequence for Trp residue in the tRNA is 3'−ACC−5'.
Explanation of Solution
The triplet codon for the amino acid Trp that codes at 5' end is T.
The triplet codon for the amino acid Trp that codes at the middle is G.
The triplet codon for the amino acid Trp that codes at 3' end is G.
Therefore, the codes for Trp are 5'−TGG−3'. The anticodon for Trp is complementary nucleotide base which codes for it. This means the nucleotide base T complements to A base and nucleotide base G complements to C. Therefore, the anticodon for Trp in tRNA is 3'−ACC−5'.
The anticodon sequence for Trp residue in the tRNA is 3'−ACC−5'.
