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.
What are the three unpaired bases on a transfer Rna - tRna - molecule called?
A [nascent] triplet codon. Nascent means potential, usually for the completion of a chemical reaction.
What is each nucleotide triplet in mrna that specifies a specific amino acid called?
im pretty sure its a codon
Which tRNA molecule would attach to the mRNA strand?
C&G can only pair up ,and U&A can only pair up.
What is the name of sugar present in tRNA nucleotides?
The sugar present in RNA (including tRNA AND mRNA) is Ribose sugar.
What is the name for triplet of trna bases?
anticodon
Base triplet on tRNA recognizing complementary base triplet on mRNA?
anticodon.
What is the triplet of bases on the end of a tRNA molecule called?
anticodon

Triplet of bases at one end of a folded tRNA molecule?
anticodon
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.
What are the complement of the codons and are found on the opposite side of he rna?
tRNA (or transfer RNA) molecules contain an anti-codon loop that contains within it a triplet complementary nucleotide sequence to that of the codon. This triplet is called the anti-codon
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.
