Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Codons are a sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that are complementary to the anticodon on tRNA. They are responsible for specifying the sequence of amino acids that will be linked together during translation. The codons are complementary to the DNA sequence from which the mRNA was transcribed, and therefore, ultimately determine the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein.
