    The codon is found on the messenger RNA molecule and is complementary to the anticodon on the transfer RNA molecule. The base pairing in RNA molecules is:

    Adenine with Uracil (because RNA molecules do not have Thymine)

    Cytosine with Guanine

    This means that the first nucleotide on the anticodon will be uracil.
