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: -Explanation: An anticodon is the three-base sequence, paired with a specific amino acid, that a tRNA molecule brings to the corresponding codon of the mRNA during translation. The anticodon sequence is complementary to the mRNA, using base pairs in the anti-parallel direction.
Detailed explanation-3: -The codon and anticodon are always antiparallel to each other when base-paired.
Detailed explanation-4: -mRNA codons and tRNA anticodons are complementary to each other. Codons in the mRNA bind to the anticodons in the tRNA during protein synthesis (translation). This relationship ensures the correct the amino acids are added to the growing polypeptide chain.
