Question

*****!!!! lots of points and brainliest!!!******** how do i find the codon and anti codon? :)​

Answer 1

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:
