A sequence of amino acids called a protein is produced during the process of translation. During this process, the anti-codon of a tRNA molecule binds to a codon of mRNA.

Explanation:

Translation is the process in which an mRNA sequence is translated into a sequence of amino acid. The amino acid sequence forms a polypeptide, which is folded into a protein.

This process requires an mRNA template, a ribosome, and specialized molecules of RNA called tRNAs. tRNAs posses an anti-codon that is complementary to a codon (3 nucleotides) on the mRNA. The tRNA also binds to and transports specific amino acids to the mRNA. The tRNA uses complementary base pairing using mRNA codons to deposit the correct sequence of amino acids in the newly synthesised protein.
