Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Codon-anticodon interactions occur between mRNA and tRNA. This is the process by which the correct amino acid is added to a growing polypeptide chain during translation. The codon on the mRNA base pairs with the complementary anticodon on the tRNA, which carries the corresponding amino acid.
