tRNA delivers the amino acids to the ribosomes for incorporation into [nacent polypeptide] protein chains.

What else can I help you with?

Where is tRNA in the cell?

tRNAs produced in nucleus but they exported to cytoplasmwhere protein synthesis occurs.


What is the base sequence at the 3' end of all tRNAs?

The base sequence at the 3' end of all tRNAs is CCA. This sequence is added post-transcriptionally during tRNA processing and is important for tRNA charging with the corresponding amino acid.


What molecules attached to the tRNAs?

During translation, an amino acid specific to the t-RNA molecule is attached to it.


Are all the tRNAs identical?

The different tRNAs in a species are similar, but not identical. Each one has to be specific for one particular amino acid that it conveys to a ribosome. In addition, each must have a unique anticodon (the series of three bases that briefly engage with one codon of messenger RNA at the ribosome). In theory, there could be 64 different tRNAs, each with a different anticodon. However, in practice there are generally a little over 30. They vary from about 73 to 95 nucleotides in length.


What type of molecule is produced as the primary link between a gene and the expression of a trait?

Transfer RNAs or tRNAs for short.


What type of molecule do tRNA carry?

tRNAs are functioning as adapter molecules during proteins synthesis by carrying specific aminoacids


What is the purpsoe of tRNA?

tRNA (transfer RNA) serves as an intermediary between mRNA (messenger RNA) and amino acids. During protein synthesis, tRNAs align with the mRNA so that the codons of the two match, then the amino acids attached to the opposite ends of the tRNAs are linked to start or continue the construction of a protein (proteins are comprised of amino acids).


Do new aminoacyl tRNAs enter the ribosome during elogation?

Yes, new aminoacyl tRNAs enter the ribosome during the elongation phase of protein synthesis to add additional amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain. The incoming aminoacyl tRNA matches its anticodon with the complementary codon on the mRNA, ensuring the correct amino acid is added to the growing chain.


What is the role of ATP in the process of charging tRNAs with amino acids?

ATP plays a crucial role in the process of charging tRNAs with amino acids by providing the energy needed for this process to occur. ATP is used to activate the amino acids before they are attached to the tRNA molecules, ensuring that the correct amino acid is added to the tRNA. This helps in the accurate and efficient translation of genetic information into proteins.


What are molecules are attached to the tRNAs?

tRNAs (transfer RNAs) are attached to specific amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Each tRNA molecule has an anticodon region that pairs with a corresponding codon on the mRNA during translation, ensuring the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. The enzyme aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase is responsible for catalyzing the attachment of the appropriate amino acid to its corresponding tRNA.


What are proteins synthesised?

Proteins are synthesized in cytoplasm. mRNA is transcribed in the nucleus by DNA which will be exported to cytoplasm. The mRNA together with the machinery such as ribosomes, tRNAs and enzymes synthesize proteins.


Where does the mRNA get translated in to protein?

RNA Translation is carried out in the ribosomes, with tRNAs serving as adaptors between the mRNA template and the amino acid MORE?
