What is the name for triplet of trna bases?
anticodon
Why does a particular tRNA molecule become 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.
Base triplet on tRNA recognizing complementary base triplet on mRNA?
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 molecule is the anti-codon found on?
A nucleotide triplet in a tRNA molecule that aligns with a particular codon in mRNA under the influence of the ribosome, so that the amino acid carried by the tRNA is added to a growing protein chain.
What is the triplet of bases on the end of a tRNA molecule called?
anticodon
What is the name for triplet of trna bases?
anticodon
What is each nucleotide triplet in mrna that specifies a specific amino acid called?
im pretty sure its a codon
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 are three unpaired bases on a tRNA molecule?
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.
Each tRNA molecule contains three bases called?
Each tRNA molecule contains three bases called an anticodon. The tRNA anticodons are complementary to specific mRNA codons. This is how the amino acids are placed in the proper order on the ribosome.
Why does a particular tRNA molecule become 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.
Base triplet on tRNA recognizing complementary base triplet on mRNA?
anticodon.
WHAT ARE The three unpaired bases of a trna molecule?
I was looking for this too. It's called the *anticodon* (:
The three bases on the tRNA molecule that are complementary to one of the mRNA codons are called what?
Anticodon
What are the three bases on the Trna molecule that complementary to one of the Mrna codons are called?
Anticodon
