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 types of RNA have each codon and anticodon?

mRNA contains codons, which are three-nucleotide sequences that encode specific amino acids. tRNA contains anticodons, which are complementary to the codons on the mRNA and allow the correct amino acid to be added to the growing protein chain during translation.


Is a trna anticodon more similar to DNA or RNA in nucleotide sequence?

A tRNA anticodon is more similar to RNA in nucleotide sequence because tRNA is a type of RNA molecule that carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. Anticodons are sequences of three nucleotides on tRNA molecules that are complementary to specific codons on mRNA. Since tRNA is part of the RNA family, its nucleotide sequence is more similar to RNA than DNA.


What type of RNA binds to codons and thus position attached amino acids in the correct order?

Transfer RNA (tRNA) binds to codons on the mRNA strand through its anticodon sequence, ensuring the correct positioning of amino acids during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid corresponding to its anticodon sequence.


What is the difference between codon and anticodon?

A codon is the triplet sequence in the messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript which specifies a corresponding amino acid (or a start or stop command). An anticodon is the corresponding triplet sequence on the transfer RNA (tRNA) which brings in the specific amino acid to the ribosome during translation. The anticodon is complementary to the codon, that is, if the codon is AUU, then the anticodon is UAA. There are no T (Thymine) nitrogen bases in mRNA. It's replaced by U (Uracil).
