The anticodon is the position on the transfer RNA ( tRNA ) that lines up with the codon on the messenger RNA ( mRNA ) that is going through the ribosomes. The other position on the transfer RNA (tRNA ) brings the appropriate amino acid to the ribosomes so a polypeptide can be constructed.

How does the anitcodon know where to fit onto the mRNA strand?
in the nucleus
What is each nucleotide triplet in mrna that specifies a specific amino acid called?
im pretty sure its a codon
Which tRNA anticodon will complement this mRNA codon?
3 *** if u want more explanation. basically it is called translation. tRNA decodes the message. If mRNA is AUG, tRNA will attach an anitcodon. Since there is no T in RNA then for A it will be U. For U it will be A and then G will base pair with C. So you will have an anticodon of UAC - which will bring in the amino acid methionine.
How many tRNA nucleotides form an anitcodon that will attach to the mRNA codon?
The codon and the anticodon interact with each other via hydrogen bonding, hence both the codon and anticodon are made up of the same number of nucleotides, which is three.
What molecule is the anti-codon found on?
A nucleotide triplet in a tRNA molecule that aligns with a particular codon in mRNA under the influence of the ribosome, so that the amino acid carried by the tRNA is added to a growing protein chain.
