Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mRNA has a three-nucleotide sequence called a codon, while the molecule transporting the amino acid has a complementary sequence called an anticodon. Codons specify which amino acid should be added to the growing protein chain, while the complementary anticodons on the tRNA molecules ensure that the correct amino acid is added to the protein chain during translation.
