GUU or GUC can decode the mrna codon cag (recall that codons are always written in the 5'->3' direction and anticodons are written in the 3'->5' direction).

Codon is located on the mRNA molecule and anti-codon is located on the tRNA molecule. Codon is actually a sequence of three nucleotides, which specifies one amino acid in the chain of polypeptide.
