Can someone explain anticondons?

Answer: A codon is found on the coding strand of double-stranded DNA and in the (single-stranded) mRNA. ... The anticodon is found on the tRNA and is the part that base-pairs with the codon (on the mRNA) in order to bring the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome to be added to the growing peptide chain.

Answer:

Anticodon Definition. Anticodons are sequences of nucleotides that are complementary to codons. They are found in tRNAs, and allow the tRNAs to bring the correct amino acid in line with an mRNA during protein production. Their anticodons, which pair-bond with codons on mRNA, allow them to perform this function.

Hope it helps!!!!
