Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The codon is labeled IV because it is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis. The anticodon is labeled III because it is a sequence of three nucleotides in tRNA that is complementary to the codon in mRNA and brings the corresponding amino acid to the ribosome.
