Solution
The base sequence known as the anti-codon is a part of a transfer RNA.
Explanation:
In the process of protein synthesis, the anticodon is a specific sequence of three nucleotides located at the bottom of a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule. Its primary function is to recognise and bind to a complementary three-base sequence on the messenger RNA (mRNA) called a codon. This precise base-pairing ensures that the correct amino acid, which is carried at the opposite end of the tRNA, is added to the growing protein chain according to the genetic instructions.
