An anticodon is a three nucleotide sequence found as part of Transfer RNA. The anticodon is the portion of the tRNA that binds to the relevant portion of the messenger RNA (mRNA). Overall, the anticodon assists in matching amino acid sequences to mRNA codon sequences during protein synthesis.

Trna has codons or anticodons?

anti-codons for sure!


TRNA has condons or anti-condons?

Anti-codons.


What is the structure of tRNA molecule?

trna does not carry structural informatio while mrna has several codons and the trna has one anti codon.


Are there three bases on the mRNA called codons?

All mRNA and DNA sets of three are codons, and rRNA is anti-codons.


What is rRNA polymerase?

it decodes the mRNA to then the codons of the mRNA can interact with the anti-codons of the tRNA


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

tRNA (or transfer RNA) molecules contain an anti-codon loop that contains within it a triplet complementary nucleotide sequence to that of the codon. This triplet is called the anti-codon


In a living system the structure of an enzyme is determined by the sequence of?

Codons in the RNA.


Does tRNA have anti-codons?

"The mechanism in which a release factor recognizes a stop codon is still unknown." Since anticodons are normally on the complementary tRNA. (The tRNA is what 'reads' the codons on the mRNA and ferries in the corresponding amino acid.) During translation stop codons are recognized by "release factors" that bind to the A-site on the ribosomes during translation.


Which type of RNA contains the codon?

Messenger RNA (mRNA) contains the codons, which are three-nucleotide sequences that code for specific amino acids during protein synthesis. The codons on mRNA are recognized by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which carry the corresponding amino acids to the ribosome for protein production.


What is the relationship between proteins and DNA?

the DNA copies its base sequence into messenger RNA which carry the information to the transfer RNA which translates it into a sequence of Amino acids.


How are the codes for the amino acids formed?

Transcription of the DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA contains the anti-codons for ribosomal binding, so the transfer RNA (tRNA) can add the corresponding amino acid. This part is known as translation.


If you want one amino acid how many codons will you need?

in orger to make one amino acid we require a one triplet base pair nucleotide For example if we have A-G-C as a codons then it will form the complementary anti-codons U-C-G which will give rise to one amino acid at the tail of anti codons. ,Many amino acids join together to form an anti codon
