Detailed explanation-1: -As per the codons on mRNA, tRNA provides the amino acids to the ribosome (site of protein synthesis). The nucleotides of tRNA are complimentary to the three nitrogenous bases of the codon on the mRNA, hence they are called anticodons.
Detailed explanation-2: -The mRNA bases are grouped into sets of three, called codons. Each codon has a complementary set of bases, called an anticodon. Anticodons are a part of transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -Anticodon 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-4: -The tRNA anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides that are the complement of the three nucleotides in the mRNA codon. The function of the anticodon is to help the tRNA find the appropriate amino acid that the mRNA codon specified.
Detailed explanation-5: -A transfer RNA (tRNA) is a special kind of RNA molecule. Its job is to match an mRNA codon with the amino acid it codes for. You can think of it as a kind of molecular “bridge” between the two. Each tRNA contains a set of three nucleotides called an anticodon.
