How does the structure of tRNA relate to its function in translation?

∙ 12y ago
The function of tRNA includes the transfer of amino acids to ribosome, matching the anticodon with an amino acid, and forming hydrogen bonds between anticodons and mRNA codons. Because the amino acid and anticodons are at the ends of the RNA it will be able to match together, its small size allows it to transfer amino acids to the ribosome, and since the anticodon is at the end of the tRNA it will be able to form hydrogen bonds with mRNA codons.

Can mRNA and tRNA be reused?
tRNA can be reused since it regains its structure after translation with the amino acids. ALso, mRNA can be reused while the end of it is still in use.
What is an anticodon and what is its function?
A sequence of tRNA that matches a codon of mRNA. The anticodon codes for an amino acid residue during translation.
What is the role Trna During translation?
Translation.
Does tRNA transfer amino acid during translation or transcription?
tRNA transfers amino acids during tranlation while mRNA is synthesized during transcription. tRNA Transfers Amino Acids during Translation
How does the anticodon function?
Anticodon on the tRNA base- pair with the codon on the mRNA and catalyses the elongation of the polypeptide chain in translation. Besides that, anticodon are specific and the specific anticodon on the tRNA decides what types of amino acid it carries on the 3' end.
What is the structure function and location of anticodon?
trna
What statement best describes the function of tRNA in translation?
tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome.
Can mRNA and tRNA be reused?
tRNA can be reused since it regains its structure after translation with the amino acids. ALso, mRNA can be reused while the end of it is still in use.
Cloverleaf structure has mRNA tRNA or rrna?
trna
What is an anticodon and what is its function?
A sequence of tRNA that matches a codon of mRNA. The anticodon codes for an amino acid residue during translation.
What is the role Trna During translation?
Translation.
Does transfer RNA perform its function in the nuclear or the cytoplasm explain?
tRNA binds to ribosomes within the cytoplasm where translation and protein synthesis occurs
Where does initiation of translation occur?
An initiation complex for translation forms by the assembly of the ribosomal subunits and initiator tRNA (met-tRNA) at the start codon on the mRNA.
Does tRNA transfer amino acid during translation or transcription?
tRNA transfers amino acids during tranlation while mRNA is synthesized during transcription. tRNA Transfers Amino Acids during Translation
Where trna is found?
The tRNA molecules are found mainly in the cytoplasm. When the translation begins, the tRNA moves to the ribosometo supply it with the anticodon and the amino acid.
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.
How does the anticodon function?
Anticodon on the tRNA base- pair with the codon on the mRNA and catalyses the elongation of the polypeptide chain in translation. Besides that, anticodon are specific and the specific anticodon on the tRNA decides what types of amino acid it carries on the 3' end.
