Do Anticodons Have Thymine?

The mRNA codons can be used to determine the sequence in the original DNA and the anticodons of the tRNA, since the mRNA bases must pair with the bases in both DNA and tRNA. Note that DNA contains thymine (T) but no uracil (U) and that both mRNA and tRNA contain U and not T.

What are Anticodons made of?

​Anticodon

An anticodon is found at one end of a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule. During protein synthesis, each time an amino acid is added to the growing protein, a tRNA forms base pairs with its complementary sequence on the mRNA molecule, ensuring that the appropriate amino acid is inserted into the protein.

Does a codon contain thymine?

A three base sequence in DNA or RNA is known as a codon. The codes in the coding strand of DNA and in messenger RNA aren't, of course, identical, because in RNA the base uracil (U) is used instead of thymine (T). ... There are six different codons all of which will eventually produce a leucine (Leu) in the protein chain.
