The anticodon is a sequence of the tRNA that compliments the matching t base pairs on the mRNA. The anticodon is an amino acid specific to the tRNA molecule.

MRNA has codons or anti codons?

Great Question. The triplet Codon, as represented by the sequence of Dna bases, would appear to be inverted into anti-Codon form in the mRna molecule. This makes the triplet Codon on the transfer-Rna Codon form.


What are the complement of the codons and are found on the opposite side of he rna?

tRNA (or transfer RNA) molecules contain an anti-codon loop that contains within it a triplet complementary nucleotide sequence to that of the codon. This triplet is called the anti-codon
