How many amnio acids are attached to a single transfer rna?

A single transfer RNA (tRNA) carries a single amino acid.


How does amino acids get to the site of protein synthesis?

Amino acids are brought to the site of protein synthesis by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules. Each tRNA molecule is specific to a particular amino acid and carries it to the ribosome, where protein synthesis occurs. The tRNA molecules recognize the codons on the mRNA and deliver the corresponding amino acids to the growing protein chain.


Do amino acids bind directly to the mRNA?

No, amino acids do not bind directly to mRNA. Amino acids are brought to the ribosome by transfer RNA (tRNA), which carries the appropriate amino acid based on the mRNA codon. The ribosome then catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids to form a protein.


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 type of RNA contains the codon?

Messenger RNA (mRNA) contains the codons, which are three-nucleotide sequences that code for specific amino acids during protein synthesis. The codons on mRNA are recognized by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which carry the corresponding amino acids to the ribosome for protein production.
