To determine the mRNA codon complementary to the tRNA anticodon GAC, you need to find the corresponding mRNA sequence by using complementary base pairing.
For the anticodon GAC:
- G pairs with C
- A pairs with U (in RNA, thymine (T) is replaced by uracil (U))
- C pairs with G
So, the mRNA codon that is complementary to the tRNA anticodon GAC would be CUG.
Therefore, the mRNA codon is **CUG**.
