This triplet is called the anticodon.
If a molecule of mRNA has AUG as its codon, what anticodon must its complementary tRNA contain?
If you mean messenger RNA (mRNA), then yes, a triplet of mRNA nucleotides is known as a mRNA codon. However, if you mean transfer RNA (tRNA), then the answer is no. A triplet of tRNA nucleotides is known as an anticodon.
The transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA takes place in the cell nucleus during a process called transcription. Here, an RNA molecule complementary to a specific region of DNA is synthesized by an enzyme called RNA polymerase.
The Rna triplet codon GUA, Thymine being replaced by Uracil in all Rna's.
There are four nucleotides in tRNA that are complementary to the four nucleotides on mRNA. Both types of RNA contain the nucleotides adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil. In both types of RNA adenine is complementary to uracil, and cytosine is complementary to guanine.
It is a triplet of bases on the RNA molecule.
If a molecule of mRNA has AUG as its codon, what anticodon must its complementary tRNA contain?
Anticodons are a sequence of three adjacent nucleotides located on one end of transfer RNA. It bounds to the complementary coding triplet of nucleotides in messenger RNA during translation phase of protein synthesis.
RNA
If you mean messenger RNA (mRNA), then yes, a triplet of mRNA nucleotides is known as a mRNA codon. However, if you mean transfer RNA (tRNA), then the answer is no. A triplet of tRNA nucleotides is known as an anticodon.
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
transfer RNA or tRNA
There are three bases in the anticodon region of a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule. These bases are complementary to the codon sequence on messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis to ensure the correct amino acid is incorporated into the growing polypeptide chain.
The transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA takes place in the cell nucleus during a process called transcription. Here, an RNA molecule complementary to a specific region of DNA is synthesized by an enzyme called RNA polymerase.
CGT base triplet on DNA is copied into mRNA as GCA. This is because DNA and RNA follow complementary base pairing rules, where C in DNA pairs with G in RNA, G in DNA pairs with C in RNA, and T in DNA pairs with A in RNA.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is the RNA molecule in the cytoplasm that carries an amino acid to the ribosome and adds it to the growing protein chain during translation. Each tRNA molecule has an anticodon that pairs with a complementary codon on the mRNA, ensuring that the correct amino acid is added to the protein sequence.
