Answer:

Basically an Anti-Condon is a sequence of three nucleotides forming a unit of genetic code in a transfer RNA molecule, corresponding to a complementary codon in messenger RNA.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Hoped this helped :)
