AGC needs to be paired up with UCG (which is the specific mRNA codon) in order to transfer message from mRNA to polypeptide. In addition it is a part of process in trancription (for elongation). **Hopefully I have answered this question correctly..if not, please correct it..thanks!

A tRNA anticodon pairs with an mRNA codon during translation.


What is anticondon?

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


What two types of molecules are involved when the codon pairs with its anticodon?

The two types of molecules that are involved when the codon pairs with its anticodon are : 1. mRNA 2. DNA


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 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


How many bases are in an anti-codon?

3 bases make up an anti-codon, 3 bases also make up a codon


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 three base sequence in mRNA?
