The anticodon is a sequence of three unpaired nucleotides in transfer RNA, which can bind through base pairing, to the complementary triplet of nucleotides, or codon in a messenger RNA molecule. The codon makes up the genetic code, the anticodon makes the amino acid.
Codons are 3 bases found on DNA or RNA. The codon on an mRNA is matched to the complementary anticodon (on a tRNA) when translation occurs - this allows the correct amino acid (carried by the tRNA) to be added to the polypeptide chain being synthesised.
For example, if a codon is CCG, the anticodon will be GGC.
Codons are three bases on mRNA which go to the ribosome which translates into amino acids. The amino acids are attached to tRNA which has the anticodon on it which will bind to the codon on the mRNA. This is how the ribosome picks out the correct amino acid. the tRNA with the anti codon just binds to the codon and the amino acids start binding together via peptide bonds.
anticodons are basically the opposite of codons
example: codon ACG UUG CAU
an anticodon would be UGC AAC GUA
similarities would be:
they complement each other
they both have three bases
differences would be:
they are different amino acids
they are opposites
codon is a set of 3 nucleotides that code for a specific aminoacid. anti codon is present on t rna that recognises the codon in order to bond with it while protein synthesis or trnanslation is being carried. anticodon is a group of 3 nucleotides that have complementary base pairs to that of a specific codon to which they are about to be bounded by hydrogen bonds
Code is the message that the mRNA carries and is translated in the ribosome. Codon is made up of three nucleotides that combines with the anticodon (on the tRNA) to join the amino acids in order to form a necessary protein.
Anti Codons are used to translate codons while Codons are used to make amino acids.
The tRNA has the anticodon and mRNA has the codon.
The mRNA codon and tRNA anticodon pair up on the ribosome.
A tRNA anticodon pairs with an mRNA codon during translation.
TAC
3 bases make up an anti-codon, 3 bases also make up a codon
The tRNA has the anticodon and mRNA has the codon.
A codon is found in the DNA sequence and in the mRNA sequence. The anticodon is the opposite sequence that would match with the sequence of the codon and allows pairing of the anticodon with the codon
The anticodon would be CUA
The mRNA codon and tRNA anticodon pair up on the ribosome.
called CODON.
Anticodon
A tRNA anticodon pairs with an mRNA codon during translation.
putos - what in the hell is putos? it sounds NASTY
TAC
It can. If the codon has an "A," then its anticodon must have a "T."
On the tRNA it is called the anticodon.
an anticodon is a base sequence on tRNA which is completmently to the codon on the mRNA strand.
