An anticodon is the three-base sequence on a tRNA that base-pairs with its matching mRNA codon by ordinary complementary base pairing (A with U, G with C, since both codon and anticodon are RNA), but because the pairing is antiparallel, the anticodon's sequence, written 5' to 3', is the codon's complement read in reverse order.
Step 2. For codon AAU: complementing each base gives U-U-A; reversing that order gives the anticodon AUU.
Step 3. For codon CGA: complementing each base gives G-C-U; reversing that order gives the anticodon UCG. …
