Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is anticodon?
A
base duplet on tRNA that carry one amino acid
B
not complementary pair with codon on mRNA
C
base triplet on mRNA that carry one amino acid
D
base triplet on tRNA that carry one amino acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A tRNA base triplet that is complimentary to a mRNA codon is called an anticodon. The rRNA translates the original DNA code into the amino acid sequence for the protein building up from the N-terminus.

Detailed explanation-2: -A codon is the triplet of a set of bases (or nucleotides) in DNA that codes for an amino acid. The triple base complement for a codon is called an anticodon; By convention, triplets in mRNA are called codons, and triplets in tRNA are called anticodons. These codons are translated into protein sequences.

Detailed explanation-3: -tRNAs bring their amino acids to the mRNA in a specific order. This order is determined by the attraction between a codon, a sequence of three nucleotides on the mRNA, and a complementary nucleotide triplet on the tRNA, called an anticodon. This anticodon also specifies the particular amino acid that the tRNA carries.
