Codons and anticodons are present in the form of triplets.Codons are present on the coding strand of DNA and on mRNA and their anticodon is present on transfer RNA.When codon present on mRNA binds to its anticodon on tRNA then appropriate amino acid is carried by tRNA on ribosomes for protein synthesis. For example, AGC and ACA anticodons are present on tRNA that binds to UGC and UGU on mRNA for amino acid cysteine.
