on tRNA

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: -Anticodons are found on molecules of tRNA. Their function is to base pair with the codon on a strand of mRNA during translation. This action ensures that the correct amino acid will be added to the growing polypeptide chain. A tRNA molecule will enter the ribosome bound to an amino acid.
Detailed explanation-3: -A particular site on each tRNA forms a three-baseanticodon that is complementary to a specific codon on the mRNA.
