A specialized base triplet at one end of a tRNA molecule that recognizes a particular complementary codon on an mRNA molecule.

A process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells conventionally divided into five stages: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Mitosis conserves chromosome number by equally allocating replicated chromosomes to each of the daughter nuclei.
