Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a molecule of RNA encoding a chemical "blueprint" for a protein product. mRNA is transcribed from a DNA template, and carries coding information to the sites of protein synthesis: the ribosomes. Here, the nucleic acid polymer is translated into a polymer of amino acids: a protein. In mRNA as in DNA, genetic information is encoded in the sequence of four nucleotides arranged into codons of three bases each. Each codon encodes for a specific amino acid, except the stop codons that terminate protein synthesis. This process requires two other types of RNA: transfer RNA (tRNA) mediates recognition of the codon and provides the corresponding amino acid, while ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is the central component of the ribosome's protein manufacturing machinery.
mRNA (messenger RNA) brings the code from DNA (transcription) to the ribosomes to make proteins (translation).
To transferr genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm! :)
Codons provide a code for a specific amino acid. These are essential for the creation of polypeptides/proteins.
It provides the code for the protein.
It sends the message to the DNA!!
Codons of the mRNA bond with anticodons of the tRNA. This can only happen if the anticodon bonds with the codon of the right sequence.
mRNA carries the codons to the cytoplasm, and tRNA carries the amino acid to mRNA to form amino acid which becomes protein.
mRNA is what gives the body the code needed to create proteins.
The tRNA has the anticodon and mRNA has the codon.
tRNA
serine codon
trna does not carry structural informatio while mrna has several codons and the trna has one anti codon.
the tRNA carries only the amino acid that the anti-codon specifies. for example: one tRNA molecule for the amino acid cysteine has an anticodon of ACA. this anticodon binds to thh mRNA codon UGU.
The tRNA gene sequence is the anti-codon while mRNA is the codon sequence.
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"
The tRNA has the anticodon and mRNA has the codon.

Transcription
serine codon
an anticodon is a base sequence on tRNA which is completmently to the codon on the mRNA strand.
On the tRNA it is called the anticodon.
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
trna does not carry structural informatio while mrna has several codons and the trna has one anti codon.
the tRNA carries only the amino acid that the anti-codon specifies. for example: one tRNA molecule for the amino acid cysteine has an anticodon of ACA. this anticodon binds to thh mRNA codon UGU.
An RNA codon which reads "UCG" would pair with a tRNA molecule which has the anti-codon "AGC".
