Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The anticodon is a sequence of nucleotides on tRNA that is complementary to the codon on mRNA. This allows tRNA to recognize and bind to the appropriate codon during translation, ensuring that the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. The anticodon is not identical to the codon on DNA, as it is transcribed into mRNA and then translated into a protein.
