Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is D. codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA.

mRNA ( messenger RNA) carries information for the synthesis of proteins in the form of codon ( a sequence of 3 nucleotides that code for a particular amino acid). It is translated at the site called ribosomes.

During this process, tRNA ( transfer RNA) carries amino acid corresponding to the codon in the mRNA and it also carries three nucleotides in its anticodon region, which pairs with the complementary sequence in the mRNA.
