Does mRNA have codons or anti-codons?

Hi Patinjordan,
mRNA has codons , each made up of 3 bases, which code for a particular amino acid.

mRNA contains codons, which are sequences of three nucleotides. These codons interact with tRNA's anticodons to translate RNA into proteins. The tRNA anticodon pairs with its complementary mRNA codon regardless of any alteration to the amino acid it carries. ;

mRNA contains codons, which are sequences of three nucleotides that dictate amino acid synthesis. tRNA contains anticodons that pair with the corresponding mRNA codons during protein synthesis. This codon-anticodon pairing is essential for correctly assembling proteins from amino acids.
