Give differences : Codons and Anticodons
| Codons | Anticodons |
| $(1)$ It is a sequence of three nucleotides, which codes for a particular amino acid. | $(1)$ An anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides that is complementary to the codon of a particular amino acid. |
| $(2)$ It is found on $mRNA$ and decides the sequence of amino acid in a polypeptide. | $(2)$ It is found on $tRNA$ and recognises the codon on $mRNA$ during translation. |
