Solution

The correct option is A True
Codon is a set of three nucleotide bases on the mRNA strand, and codes for a specific amino acid. Each tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid at its amino acid (AA) binding site or amino acid acceptor arm. The loop opposite to it (as seen in the clover leaf structure) is called the anticodon loop, which contains a set of three nucleotide bases complementary to the codon of the respective amino acid.
