Which two structures contain codons and anticodons? mRNA and tRNA tRNA and amino acids amino acids and mRNA rRNA and tRNA
whats your view?
look at the diagram you will get your answer
You should study up for Transcription & translation...& if you want direct answer then mention it...
See this... Template==AntiCodon DNA mRNA mRNA Protein [Amino Acid chain]
Codon, is a triplet code that consists of 3 nitrogenous bases, now this codon codes for an amino acid. Different codons code different amino acids. A DNA that is transcribed to mRNA will consist of these codons. To translate these codons to amino acid language, you need a transfer RNA to bring the amino acid, but since there are many codons for 20 amino acids, you need a system that would make sure you are getting a correct amino acid for the given codon, for that you need an anticodon, which is complimentary to a codon. For example, if codon is ACU on mRNA that is to be translated, the anticodon complementary to it should be UGA and amino acid with this anticodon is Threonine (carried by tRNA). Thats how we make sure a correct amino acid is brought for a given codon.
If you don't understand, and if you have not learnt this before, let me know. I can teach u if you would want step by step help.
