Is a triplet of RNA nucleotides known as a codon?
If you mean messenger RNA (mRNA), then yes, a triplet of mRNA nucleotides is known as a mRNA codon. However, if you mean transfer RNA (tRNA), then the answer is no. A triplet of tRNA nucleotides is known as an anticodon.
On what structure is the codon found?
A codon consists out of a 3 nucleotid long DNA piece. That 3 nucleotids code for an amino acid.
Is the nucleotide sequence in an mRNA codon an exact copy of the DNA triplet that coded for it?
No. It's the RNA nucleotides that code for the DNA. The tRNA then in turn codes for a specific protein. So, for example, if the DNA sequence is TAG, the tRNA is AUC. (Uracil replacing thyamine in RNA)
Cloverleaf structure has mRNA tRNA or rrna?
trna
Which tRNA molecule would attach to the mRNA strand?
C&G can only pair up ,and U&A can only pair up.

Base triplet on tRNA recognizing complementary base triplet on mRNA?
anticodon.
Which amino acid will be carried to a RNA molecule containing the triplet code A-A-A?
A tRNA molecule with the anti-codon AAU should match up with the mRNA codon UUA. This tRNA will be carrying the amino acid Leucine.
Why does a particular tRNA becomes temporarily attached only to a specific triplet of mRNA?
Each tRNA molecule contains a specific three-base segment (anticodon) which binds to the complementary codon in mRNA,and a binding site for a specific amino acid.
What process do mrna Trna work together to complete?
mRNA and tRNA work together to complete the process of translation, which is the second step of protein synthesis, in which the genetic code on the mRNA is translated into a sequence of amino acids by the tRNA.

Which type of RNA has amino acids covalently attached?
tRNA - Transfer RNA tRNA binds amino acids through a two step "charging" reaction and brings those amino acids to the ribosome. The reaction is catalysed by the enzyme aminoacyl transferase. There are many different tRNA molecules, at least one for each amino acid, but not necessarily one for every triplet codon. The triplet codons are groups of three RNA bases on mRNA that code for a specific amino acid in a protein, and are matched to the complementary anticodon in tRNA. Through "wobble" it is possible for one tRNA molecule with a single anticodon to bind two triplet codons on mRNA, with a single non Watson-Crick base pair (usually the third base). Without this "wobble", there would have to be 61 different tRNA molecules (there are 64 possible triplet codons, but three of then signal termination and are not recognised by tRNA). With the "wobble", there could be as few as 20, one for each amino acid.
Which RNA molecules are involvedin the synthesis or a protein?
mRNA, rRNA, tRNA mRNA transcribes the genetic code and carries it to a ribosome, which is composed of rRNA and proteins, and tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome where the amino acids are assembled in the correct sequence according to the mRNA code.
On what structure is the codon found?
A codon consists out of a 3 nucleotid long DNA piece. That 3 nucleotids code for an amino acid.
What is meant by mRNA?
mRNA = messenger RNA. This is one of the three types of RNA and it brings the DNA code to the tRNA in translation.
Is the nucleotide sequence in an mRNA codon an exact copy of the DNA triplet that coded for it?
No. It's the RNA nucleotides that code for the DNA. The tRNA then in turn codes for a specific protein. So, for example, if the DNA sequence is TAG, the tRNA is AUC. (Uracil replacing thyamine in RNA)
