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

∙ 14y agoEach transfer RNA has an anticodon whose bases are complementary to a codon on the mRNA strand. The ribosome positions the start codon to attract its anticodon, which is part of the tRNA that binds the next codon and its anticodon.

Which two structures contain codons and anticodons?
mRNA tRNA
How does the structure of tRNA relate to its function in translation?
The function of tRNA includes the transfer of amino acids to ribosome, matching the anticodon with an amino acid, and forming hydrogen bonds between anticodons and mRNA codons. Because the amino acid and anticodons are at the ends of the RNA it will be able to match together, its small size allows it to transfer amino acids to the ribosome, and since the anticodon is at the end of the tRNA it will be able to form hydrogen bonds with mRNA codons.
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.
Do you use mrna codons or trna anticodons for coding chart to tell us what amino acids are coded in dna coding strand?
You use the mRNA. ;)
What is the relationship between the linear sequence of codons on mRNA and the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide?
The linear sequence of codons on mRNA determines the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide.
Trna has codons or anticodons?
anti-codons for sure!
Are codons and anticodons found in DNA?
I think codons are found on dna. Anticodons are found only on trna.
Where do codons and anticodons pair?
In the ribosome
How many anticodons are there?
Well, think about it. There are 64 codons so there must be 64 anticodons
Which two structures contain codons and anticodons?
mRNA tRNA
Where are codons and anticpdpns found?
Codons are found on messenger RNA, while anticodons are found on transfer RNA
What type of RNA has neither anticodons or codons?
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
What is the purpose of the P site in ribosomes?
Anticodons are attached to the codons on the mRNA.
Are codons found in mRNA or tRNA?
mRNA is made up of anticodons
The three bases on the tRNA molecule that are complentary to one of the mRNA codons are called?
Anticodons.
Which molecule would you expect to find codons?
Codons are groups of three nucleotides on the mRNA strand. Codons are bound to the ribosomes where they are met by tRNA's anticodons. Together, the codons and anticodons form amino acids which bind together via peptide bonds and form amino acid chains known as polypeptides or proteins. These proteins are released into the cell to perform their desired functions.
What are anticodons and triplets in replications?
Anticodons: Prest in the tRNA molecule,involved in the protein syntehesis Triplet or codon: Three letter base(eg:AUG-Met) of mRNA, codes for a particular aminoacid. Replication:Duplication of DNA moleculs(codons and anticodons are not relevant with this processs!)
