The anticodon of tRNA fits to the codon of mRNA. ( codons are three bases that code for one amino acid. Like this. ( remember. Uracil instead of thymine in RNA ) Anti codon on top; codon on the bottom.

ACGUUCCAG

UGCAAGGUC

These represent three codon triplets as they would come into the ribosome, gave tRNA come in on top to match them and the tRNA would bring one appropriate aminao acid to add to the growing polypeptide.

there are 4 bases

  • Adenine (A)
  • Cytosine (C)
  • Thymine (T)
  • Guanine (G)

Adenine only pairs up with Thymine and vice verca.

Cytosine only pairs up with guanine and vice verca.

A way that my bio teacher helps me remember was a little rhyme

At The Golf Course aka.... Awith T and G with C.

The three nitrogen bases on the mRNA are called codon, and on tRNA they are called anticodon.

What is anticondon?

An anticodon is the three-base sequence on a tRNA molecule that pairs with a specific mRNA codon.


What is an anti codon?

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.


What is the tRNA sequence that pairs with this mRNA AUG ACU AGC?

AUG pairs with UAC on a tRNA molecule


What tRNA know what amino acid is coded on the m RNA?

Every three bases on an mRNA molecule is known as a codon. The tRNA molecules have corresponding base pairs called an anticodon that will only pair up with the codons on mRNA. In this way mRNA specifies the amino acid that tRNA brings next in the sequence on the growing peptide chain.


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.


Why are amino acids which compliment mRNA called tRNA?

Amino acids are not called tRNA. tRNA molecules carry amino acids to the mRNA on the ribosome. A tRNA molecule has a 3-base anticodon that is complimentary to a apecific mRNA codon, which allows the tRNA to place the amino acid in the correct sequence.


During translation a messenger rna codon is paired with?

A tRNA anticodon pairs with an mRNA codon during translation.


What acts as interpreter molecules that recognize specific amino acids and nucleotide base sequences?

tRNA (Transfer RNA)....It is often mistaken with mRNA


Base triplet on tRNA recognizing complementary base triplet on mRNA?

anticodon.


What is the difference between mRNA and tRNA?

mRNA is the RNA that carries information during transcription and translation. It has codons, which match up with the anticodons on tRNA. tRNA is the RNA that bonds to amino acids and transfers them to ribosomes, and mRNA.

What is the puorpose of anticodons?

a codon is a sequence of 3 nucleotides, the tRNA anticodons is the comlementary pairs with its corresponding mRNA codon.
