Codon |
Anticodon |
|
Codons
are trinucleotide units that present in mRNA and codes for a particular amino
acid in protein synthesis. |
Anticodon
is trinucleotide units that present in tRNA. It is complementary to the
codons in mRNA. |
|
Codons
transfer the genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosomes where
protein synthesis takes place. |
The
anticodons are referred to as the link between the nucleotide sequence of the
mRNA and the amino acid sequence of the protein. |
|
The
codons are present in DNA and RNA. |
The
anticodons are present in the anticodon arm of tRNA. |
|
One
mRNA comprises a no. of codons. |
One
tRNA contains the only anticodon. |
|
The
codon is complementary to the nucleotide triplet of a gene in DNA. |
it
is complementary to the respective codon. |
