Adenine,Uracil,Guanine,Cytosine
The four nucleotides present in tRNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and uracil (U). These nucleotides form base pairs to create the three-dimensional structure of tRNA that allows it to carry specific amino acids during protein synthesis.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules serve as interpreter molecules that recognize specific amino acids and nucleotide base sequences. tRNA carries the corresponding amino acid to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
tRNA
It links the correct amino acids together
No, an anticodon tRNA does not contain thymine (T) nucleotide. Instead, tRNA contains uracil (U), which pairs with adenine (A) in the RNA molecule during protein synthesis. Thymine is typically found in DNA molecules but is replaced by uracil in RNA.
tRNA comes from aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. An Amino Acid, Nucleotide, and Anticodon are bound together by an enzyme. It is then used for protein synthesis. Source: I am in a college level Biology class.
There are only 45 different tRNA anticodons because some tRNA molecules can recognize multiple codons due to the wobble base pairing at the third position of the codon. This allows for flexibility in the genetic code and reduces the need for a specific tRNA for every possible codon combination.
A tRNA anticodon is more similar to RNA in nucleotide sequence because tRNA is a type of RNA molecule that carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. Anticodons are sequences of three nucleotides on tRNA molecules that are complementary to specific codons on mRNA. Since tRNA is part of the RNA family, its nucleotide sequence is more similar to RNA than DNA.
The sugar present in RNA (including tRNA AND mRNA) is Ribose sugar.
Anticodons
These nucleotide sequences are called anticodons.
