Solution
The technical name for the set of bases on a tRNA molecule that are complementary to the triplet code on the mRNA is the anticodon.
This sequence consists of three specific nucleotides located in the anticodon loop of the tRNA. During translation, the anticodon binds to the corresponding mRNA codon through complementary base pairing. This interaction ensures that the specific amino acid carried by the tRNA is added to the growing polypeptide chain in the correct order dictated by the genetic code.
