A codon is the triplet sequence in the messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript which specifies a corresponding amino acid (or a start or stop command). An anticodon is the corresponding triplet sequence on the transfer RNA (tRNA) which brings in the specific amino acid to the ribosome during translation. The anticodon is complementary to the codon, that is, if the codon is AUU, then the anticodon is UAA. There are no T (Thymine) nitrogen bases in mRNA. It's replaced by U (Uracil).

FranA codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis. An anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides in tRNA that is complementary to a specific codon on the mRNA, allowing tRNA to bring the corresponding amino acid to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

How many bases in an anticondon?
Three. Like this. Codon: AUG anti-----UAC
How many bases are in an anticondon?
An anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotide bases on a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule that pairs with a complementary codon on mRNA during protein synthesis. Therefore, an anticodon consists of three bases.
What attaches to a codon?
A transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule attaches to a codon during translation. The tRNA carries a specific amino acid corresponding to the codon, and the interaction between the tRNA and the codon helps in adding the correct amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain.
Given a chunk of DNA sequences how do you find out if it contains a gene?
In order to find a gene jsut look for a start codon near a promoter and then look for a stop codon in the sequence everything between the start and the stop codon is a gene
What name is assigned to augwhich stands for methionine in which all mRNA molecules start?
The start codon. The codon AUG is generally referred as the start codon because the translation of mRNA begins on AUG.
