The tRNA does not directly assemble a sequence from the mRNA codon; instead, it pairs with the mRNA codon during translation.

The mRNA codon AUU corresponds to the tRNA anticodon that would base pair with it. To find the tRNA anticodon, we need to determine the complementary bases:

  • A --> U
  • U --> A
  • U --> A

Thus, the tRNA anticodon for the mRNA codon AUU would be UAA.

Therefore, the correct response is UAA.
