Neither. mRNA and tRNA are nucleic acids, not amino acids.

An amino acid is not mRNA or tRNA. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, while mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome to be translated into a protein, and tRNA is responsible for bringing specific amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

What are the differences between charged tRNA and uncharged tRNA?
Charged tRNA has an amino acid attached to it, ready for protein synthesis, while uncharged tRNA does not have an amino acid attached. Charged tRNA binds to the appropriate codon on the mRNA during translation, while uncharged tRNA cannot participate in translation.
What is 3 nucleotides on trna that match to a specific condon on mRNA?
The three nucleotides on tRNA that match to a specific codon on mRNA are called the anticodon. The anticodon base pairs with the codon on mRNA during protein synthesis, ensuring that the correct amino acid is brought to the ribosome. This matching process is crucial for accurate translation of the genetic code.
What is the start codon for mRNA?
The start codon for mRNA is AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine. It signals the ribosome to start translation and is crucial for initiating protein synthesis.
The three bases on the tRNA molecule that are complementary to one of the mRNA codons are called an?
Anticodon
Structure of tRNA different from DNA?
tRNA is a single-stranded molecule that folds into a cloverleaf shape, while DNA is double-stranded and forms a helical structure. tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis, whereas DNA carries genetic information. tRNA contains modified nucleotides and often has loops and stems that are crucial for its function in protein synthesis.
What type of molecule is the tRNA bring to the mRNA?
tRNA brings amino acids to the mRNA on the ribosome.
During translation the type of amino acid that is added to the growing polypeptide depends on what?
D. codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA to which the amino acid is attached. __________ On my packet it says answer C. Codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA but it's all the same thing XD
Adds the correct amino acid to the growing protein chain?
tRNA (transfer RNA) attaches to the mRNA by the codon and anticodon.Each tRNA carries an amino acid that corresponds to the codon on the mRNA. This is how the correct amino acid is added to the chain.
Why are amino acids which compliment mRNA called tRNA?
Amino acids are not called tRNA. tRNA molecules carry amino acids to the mRNA on the ribosome. A tRNA molecule has a 3-base anticodon that is complimentary to a apecific mRNA codon, which allows the tRNA to place the amino acid in the correct sequence.
What is the function of tRNA.?
tRNA mediates recognition of the codon and provides the corresponding amino acid. It mainly is recognized for carrying amino acids. It then gives to it mRNA to translate the nucleotides proteins.
Where in the cell do mRNA and amino acids on tRNA's come together to make a protein?
During translation, tRNA anticodons pair with the complementary mRNA codons at the ribosomes. Each tRNA molecule carries with it an amino acid according to its specific code. As each tRNA releases its amino acid, peptide bonds form between the amino acids. After each tRNA releases its amino acid, it is free to pick up another amino acid in the cytoplasm.
What works with mRNA to synthesize proteins?
mRNA, tRNA,rRNA, ribosome, amino acid
Complementary to an mRNA codon?
it depends on the codon spcified. The tRNA will have the complementary strand along with an amino acid, for which is specified by the mRNA. if the mRNA codon was "CGA" the tRNA codon would have an amino acid and the complementary codon of "GCU"
What is tRNA used during translation?
tRNA (transfer RNA) is used to bring the amino acids to the ribosome when a protein is being made. tRNA has an anticodon that matches with the codon on the mRNA, so that it knows which amino acid to add to the protein that is being created.
When a tRNA anticodon bind to an mRNA codon the amino acid detaches from the tRNA molecule and attaches to the end of a growing protein chain?
when another tRNA molecule attaches to the mRNA, and the first tRNA goes away leaving the first amino acid attached to the second.
Do amino acids bind directly to the mRNA?
mRNA connects with the subunits of the ribosome. Each codon is read specifically and a matching anticodon brought by a tRNA is transferred. Each matched triplet adds amino acids to the polypeptide chain.
How does the interactions between mRNA codons and trna anticodons codes for a specific amino acid?
Once the original DNA has been unzipped and the mrna has made a complementary copy it is time for the trna to do its work. The mrna moves out of the nucleus and moves into the rrna where the trna come with certain group of 3 nucleotides which codes for a specific amino acid. When the bases on the trna and the ones on the mrna are matched it drops of its amino acid to the trna behind it which forms a peptide bond with the other amino acids.(The rrna has 3 slots where the trna sit and deposit their amino acid to the one behind in line to them.) After the mrna has fully been decoded into amino acids their chain breaks off to make a protein in the secondary, tertiary, or quaternary structure.
