Answer:
The way to find a codon is by arranging the sequence of nitrogenous bases of the mRNA in groups of three, the triplets. Once the codon is found, the anticodon corresponds to a complementary triplet to that codon.
Explanation:
Codon corresponds to a triplet of mRNA nitrogen bases encoding an amino acid. Anticodon is responsible for carrying amino acids to the ribosome, according to the information of the mRNA, and the sequence of its triple must be complementary to that of the codon mRNA.
If, for example, a codon of the mRNA is AUG, its anticodon of the tRNA must be UAC, that is, complementary. Then, for the indicated exercises:

When the two waves meet, there are two possibilities:
1.If the waves were both in phase and moving in the same direction, then, the amplitude will double, this is called constructive interference.
2. If the two waves were exactly out of phase, then they will try to move the water surface in all directions, thus, no movement and the waves cancel out. This is called destructive interference.
