DNA contains a sequence of bases. During Protein synthesis, the DNA splits in half and RNA molecules effectively copy the DNA strand. RNA strand then moves from the cells nucleus to the ribosomes often found on rough endoplasmic reticulum. The ribosome sort of decodes the RNA base sequence and tRNA molecules carry in the correct amino acid sequence. The anti codon on the RNA matches the codon on the amino acid. The amino acids are put in the correct order and then form peptide bonds. this creates a Protein.

in summary, the codon on the rna molecule codes for the production of a protein.

What is an Anti-codon and on what molecule is it found?

An anti-codon is a set of three nucleotides in transfer RNA (tRNA) that are complementary to a codon in messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis. This pairing helps ensure the correct amino acid is added to the growing protein chain.


What are the complement of the codons and are found on the opposite side of the rna?

The complement of the codon is the anticodon.


Where do you find a anticodon?

Codon is found on the messenger RNA(m RNA).During translation, the codons on the m RNA are read by the ribosome and amino acid corresponding to the codon is added. when ribosome encounters a stop codon (UAG,UGA and UAA) translation terminates.


In which molecule would you find an anti-codon?

an anti-codon is a code for an amino acid found on protein


Would the codon in figure 8.13 be found in a strand of DNA or rna?

We can't answer as we do not know what book you are referring to.


On what molecule would you find the codon?

A codon is a set of three nucleotides that specifies which amino acid will be added to the growing protein during translationl. Since a codon is found in DNA and RNA, the NUCLEOTIDE BASESare the molecules that make up codons


What is the name of the process where RNA codon is read and the tRNA anti-codon brings amino acids to the codon?

Transcription


Which type of RNA has the anti codon?

tRNA


What structure carries the codon?

The codon is carried by messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis. The codon on mRNA corresponds to a specific amino acid, which is brought to the ribosome by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules.


What are two functional parts of a charged RNA?

codon on mRNA and the amino-acid specified by the codon


A region of tRNA that consists of three bases complimentary to the codon of RNA?

Anticodon. This is the region of transfer RNA (tRNA) that pairs with the complementary codon on messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis.


Does a codon catalyze rna synthesis?

No, a codon does not catalyze RNA synthesis. Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that correspond to a specific amino acid during translation. RNA synthesis is carried out by an enzyme called RNA polymerase.
