Codons found in messenger RNA?

Anticodons are sequences of three base pairs on a transfer RNA that correspond to (and subsequently pair up with) codons on messenger RNAs. These complementary pairs come together by forming hydrogen bonds. For example, a tRNA with the anticodon UUU may correspond to the codon AAA on the mRNA.


What is the difference between codon and anticodon?

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).


Is a trna anticodon more similar to DNA or RNA in nucleotide sequence?

The question has its answer, tRNA is a type of "RNA" so they would not be expected to be similar to DNA. Anticodon is just a three nucleotide in the tRNA (like codons in mRNA.DNA is a -deoxy ribose (oxygen is removed at 2' position) containing polymer and RNA doesnt have -deoxy but only the normal oxy (oxygen is not removed) sugar. so chemically or biophysically, they cant be as same as DNA.


How does an anticodon compare to a codon?

The anticodon is a sequence of three unpaired nucleotides in transfer RNA, which can bind through base pairing, to the complementary triplet of nucleotides, or codon in a messenger RNA molecule. The codon makes up the genetic code, the anticodon makes the amino acid.


Each tRNA molecule contains three bases called?

Each tRNA molecule contains three bases called an anticodon. The tRNA anticodons are complementary to specific mRNA codons. This is how the amino acids are placed in the proper order on the ribosome.
