Which of the following statements about codons and anticodons is true?
A) The codon bonds covalently with the anticodon.
B) The base sequences are the same.
C) There are 64 codons and 61 anticodons.
D) Activating enzymes link codons and anticodons.
E) At contact, the codon and the anticodon are antiparallel to each other.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At contact, the codon and the anticodon are antiparallel to each other, meaning that they run opposite directions. This allows for hydrogen bonding between the bases in the codon and anticodon, which helps to ensure proper base pairing between the mRNA and tRNA during translation. The other answer choices are all incorrect.
