Hydrogen bonding in codon-anticodon pairing

Steps:

• Identify anticodon for AAU (5'-AAU-3'): 3'-UUA-5', with A-U, A-U, U-A pairs (2 H-bonds each, total 6).
• Identify anticodon for CUG (5'-CUG-3'): 3'-GAC-5', with C-G, U-A, G-C pairs (3, 2, 3 H-bonds, total 8).
• Sum H-bonds: 6 + 8 = 14 total.
• Compare to option A, but choices B, C, D unspecified.

Why B is correct:

• Not enough information, as options B, C, D not provided to verify.

Why the others are wrong:

• A: Calculates 14 H-bonds, but lacks context if this matches the question's intent without full choices.

Final answer: Not enough information.
