What's Your Question?
Answer
Triplet of bases of mRNA which code for an amino acid is called a codon and the bases complementary to the triplets of a codon, coding distinctly for a specific amino acid is an anticodon
Answer
Codon is the arrangement of 3 nucleotides in mRNA, for example AUG codes for Methionine and anticodon is UAC present in the anticodon loop of tRNA, with which it binds mRNA during translation with the aid of the enzyme amino acyl tRNA synthase.
Answer

A codon is the triplet sequence in the mRNA transcript which specifies a corresponding amino acid . An anticodon is the corresponding triplet sequence on the tRNA which brings in the specific amino acid to the ribosome during translation. The anticodon is complementary to the codon, that is, if the codon is AUU, then the anticodon is UAA.
