Transfer RNA or tRNA is a small molecule with a low molecular weight that contains about 70 to 80 nucleotides and with a secondary structure consisting of a clover leaf configuration that is folded to yield an L-shaped tertiary structure. tRNA molecule carries an amino acid and tranfers it to the ribosomes for incorporation into a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis (the translation process). tRNA is responsible to bind to the codon in messenger RNA by way of complimentary anticodon that is present in the tRNA. Sequences of codon and anticodon consist in three complimentary nucleotides to each other.

What molecule caries an amino acid to the site of protein synthesis?
mRNA, or messenger RNA, carries an amino acid to the site of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.
How does amino acids get to the site of protein synthesis?
Amino acids are attached to transfer RNA to form an aminoacyl-tRNA and diffuse to the ribosome, which is the site of protein synthesis.
What is the one job in whack most RNA molecules are involved?
There are at least three major class of RNAs, namely mRNA, tRNA and rRNA which are involved in coding the message (for protein), function in protein synthesis and making ribosomes respectively.
What carries an amino acid to a ribosome during protein synthesis?
traspfar or rna
What is the sequence of three bases found on a stand of tRNA used to pair with mRNA in protein synthesis?
I think the 3 base sequence found on tRNA is called an anticodon
What does trna carry and line them up at organelles called?
tRNA carry amino acids.They help in protein synthesis.
What is the protein synthesis of tRNA?
tRNA production takes place in the nucleolus. It is a ribosome that aids in protein translation.
What is the propose of tRNA?
The purpose of tRNA is to provide with the anticodon and amino acids in protein synthesis.
Which process is part of protein synthesis and includes tRNA?
Translation
Does tRNA have proteins?
tRNA is a vital molecule that serves as an adapter in protein synthesis. tRNA does have amino acid acceptor arm where an amino acid is presented. But they do not have any protein on them.
What makes proteins other than ribosomes?
Ribosomes are the organelles that specializes in protein synthesis, along with help from mRNA and tRNA.
During protein synthesis the nucleotide sequence specific a particular species of?
tRNA
What is the last stage in protein synthesis which amino acids are assembled by tRNA?
translation
During protein synthesis the nucleotide sequence specifies a particular species of?
It is tRNA
What role does the structure of RNA and DNA play in protein synthesis?
mRNA. tRNA,
What molecule caries an amino acid to the site of protein synthesis?
mRNA, or messenger RNA, carries an amino acid to the site of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.
How does amino acids get to the site of protein synthesis?
