|
|
codon
|
|
|
anticodon
|
|
|
transcription
|
|
|
ribosome

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -An anticodon is a trinucleotide sequence located at one end of a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule, which is complementary to a corresponding codon in a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transfer RNA (abbreviated tRNA) is a small RNA molecule that plays a key role in protein synthesis. Transfer RNA serves as a link (or adaptor) between the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule and the growing chain of amino acids that make up a protein.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Similar to the codons, the anticodons are made up of three ribonucleotide sequences called the transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA).
Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct option is ‘tRNA’.
