Best Answer

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.

During protein synthesis, where DNA is "read" to produce a given protein (which is just a strand of amino acids), a codon is a three nucleotide sequence on mRNA that codes for a particular amino acid. The anticodon is the portion of tRNA (the molecule that carries the amino acid) that complements the codon on the mRNA, allowing the appropriate amino acid to be placed at a given position in the protein.

Anti-codons are on t-rna. They match up with m-rna in ribosomes to create proteins.

The anitcodon is the part of the tRNA where there are three bases that match up with the bases(codons) that are on the mRNA. The other part of the tRNA is the amino acid.
