A codon is the triplet sequence in the messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript which specifies a corresponding amino acid (or a start or stop command). An anticodon is the corresponding triplet sequence on the transfer RNA (tRNA) which brings in the specific amino acid to the ribosome during translation. The anticodon is complementary to the codon, that is, if the codon is AUU, then the anticodon is UAA. There are no T (Thymine) nitrogen bases in mRNA. It's replaced by U (Uracil).

∙ 12y agoAnticodon is the complementary base pair found in transfer RNA, tRNA, that helps in the transfer of the peptide molecules. It would bind the the codons along the mRNA on the sense strand.
While a codon is generally the genetic sequence in triplets along a mRNA, the sense strand.

What is the difference between a codon from an anticodon and explain the significance of each?
A codon is the triplet sequence in messenger RNA (mRNA) that specifies an amino acid or a start or stop command. Its complementary sequence in transfer RNA (tRNA) is called the anticodon.
What types of RNA have each codon and anticodon?
The tRNA has the anticodon and mRNA has the codon.
Where does the lining up of a codon and anticodon take place?
The mRNA codon and tRNA anticodon pair up on the ribosome.
During translation a messenger rna codon is paired with?
A tRNA anticodon pairs with an mRNA codon during translation.
What is the codon for methionine is AUG what is its anticodon?
TAC
What is the relationship between codons and anticodons?
A codon is found in the DNA sequence and in the mRNA sequence. The anticodon is the opposite sequence that would match with the sequence of the codon and allows pairing of the anticodon with the codon

What types of RNA have each codon and anticodon?
The tRNA has the anticodon and mRNA has the codon.
What anticodon pairs with the codon gau?
The anticodon would be CUA
Where does the lining up of a codon and anticodon take place?
The mRNA codon and tRNA anticodon pair up on the ribosome.
What is the three base sequence in mRNA?
called CODON.
Complementary nucleotides to a codon?
Anticodon
During translation a messenger rna codon is paired with?
A tRNA anticodon pairs with an mRNA codon during translation.
The three bases on the tRNA molecule that are complementary to one of the mRNA codons are called the?
putos - what in the hell is putos? it sounds NASTY
What is the codon for methionine is AUG what is its anticodon?
TAC
Would an anticodon tRNA contain a thymine nucleotide?
It can. If the codon has an "A," then its anticodon must have a "T."
What part of tRNA should match the codon of the mRNA?
On the tRNA it is called the anticodon.
