Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

mRNA codons are a group of three nucleotide base that specifies a particular amino acid. They are read during translation by another set of three nucleotide base that are complementary to the codons. These group of nucleotides complementary to the codon found in tRNA are called ANTICODON.

Anticodon pairs with the codon using the complementary base pairing rule i.e. A-U, G-C, T-A. Hence, the mRNA codons GCU and GCC will possess anticodons CGA and CGG. Observing these two anticodons, they are not the same as they do not contain the same sequence. Therefore, this question is FALSE.
