tRNAs are small RNA molecules that carry amino acids to growing polypeptide chains that are being made in a ribosome. The have anti-codons that are complimentary to the codons on the mRNA. They carry an amino acid that is specific to their anti-codon.

What does mitochondrial DNA code for?
Mitochondrial DNA codes for 13 mitochondrial proteins, 16S and 12S rRNA and 22 tRNAs
Accuracy in the translation of mRNA into the primary structure of a polypeptide depends on specificity in the?
- A. proper bonding of the anticodon to the codon and B. proper attachment of amino acids to tRNAs so A and B
What is the function of a nuclei acid?
Nucleic acids are classified as DNA and RNA. They are the genetic materials of cells which are key molecules of inheritance. DNA transcribe RNAs and RNA can then make protein if the message is coded on it. Non coading RNA are also important part of ribosomes (rRNAs) and involved as a tool to build proteins (tRNAs).
What controls the bonding of specific amino acids to their correct tRNAs in a cell?
It's the enzyme amino-acyl-tRNA. It bonds the correct amino acid to the tRNA based on the anti-codon on the tRNA.
During which stage do two tRNAs properly align their two ammino acids so that they may be chemically attached to one another?
This occurs during translation of protein synthesis. This happens in elongation stage of translation .
What helps ribosomes decode messenger RNA?
tRNAs.
What is the base sequence at the 3' end of all tRNAs?
AUG
Do new aminoacyl tRNAs enter the ribosome during elogation?
Yes, at the A-site
Where is tRNA in the cell?
tRNAs produced in nucleus but they exported to cytoplasmwhere protein synthesis occurs.
What does tRNAs do?
tRNA delivers the amino acids to the ribosomes for incorporation into [nacent polypeptide] protein chains.
What molecules attached to the tRNAs?
During translation, an amino acid specific to the t-RNA molecule is attached to it.
Are all the tRNAs identical?
The different tRNAs in a species are similar, but not identical. Each one has to be specific for one particular amino acid that it conveys to a ribosome. In addition, each must have a unique anticodon (the series of three bases that briefly engage with one codon of messenger RNA at the ribosome). In theory, there could be 64 different tRNAs, each with a different anticodon. However, in practice there are generally a little over 30. They vary from about 73 to 95 nucleotides in length.
What type of molecule is produced as the primary link between a gene and the expression of a trait?
Transfer RNAs or tRNAs for short.
What does mitochondrial DNA code for?
Mitochondrial DNA codes for 13 mitochondrial proteins, 16S and 12S rRNA and 22 tRNAs
What type of molecule do tRNA carry?
tRNAs are functioning as adapter molecules during proteins synthesis by carrying specific aminoacids
What is the purpsoe of tRNA?
tRNA (transfer RNA) serves as an intermediary between mRNA (messenger RNA) and amino acids. During protein synthesis, tRNAs align with the mRNA so that the codons of the two match, then the amino acids attached to the opposite ends of the tRNAs are linked to start or continue the construction of a protein (proteins are comprised of amino acids).
What is a function of a nuclei's acids?
Nucleic acids are classified as DNA and RNA. They are the genetic materials of cells which are key molecules of inheritance. DNA transcribe RNAs and RNA can then make protein if the message is coded on it. Non coading RNA are also important part of ribosomes (rRNAs) and involved as a tool to build proteins (tRNAs).
