Question
Attempt any TWO of the following:
Define the terms ‘codon’ and ‘anticodon’.
Solution
Codon : A specific sequence of three consecutive nucleotides that is part of the genetic code and that specifies a particular amino acid in a protein or starts or stops protein synthesis.
Anticodon : A triplet of nucleotide bases in transfer RNA that identifies the amino acid carried and binds to a complementary codon in messenger RNA during protein synthesis at a ribosome
