Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The codon, which is a sequence of three nucleotides, is present on the mRNA. The anticodon, which is also a sequence of three nucleotides, is present on the tRNA. Thus, the correct choice is A, where codon on the mRNA matches with the anticodon on the tRNA to direct the addition of the correct amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain.
