To determine the sequence of bases on the tRNA that pairs with the mRNA codon AUU, we first need to understand the pairing rules. In this case, the mRNA codon AUU would be read in the context of the complementary tRNA, which carries the corresponding anticodon.

  1. The mRNA codon AUU is made up of:
    • A pairs with U
    • U pairs with A
    • U pairs with A

Since tRNA anticodons are complementary to mRNA codons, the tRNA anticodon corresponding to AUU would be:

  • UAA

Therefore, the sequence of bases on the tRNA that pairs with the mRNA codon AUU is UAA.
