tRNA molecules carry amino acids to the site of protein synthesis
tRNA is made in the nucleus of the cell.
Yes, tRNA (transfer RNA) is composed of ribonucleotides. Each tRNA molecule is made up of a single RNA strand that is folded into a cloverleaf-like shape, with specific sequences of ribonucleotides that form the coding region and the anticodon loop.
tRNA is produced by RNA polymerase III from the nucleus and exported out to the cytoplasm, awaiting for the codon sequence by the mRNA; while mRNA is produced from RNA polymerase II. mRNA comes from the transcription of RNA from the nucleus of the cell, and tRNA follows the same step; but the major difference between mRNA and tRNA is that tRNA uses different RNA polymerase (III), then exported out to the cytoplasm, once the mRNA carries its codon sequence down to the ribosome made up of rRNA (make up ribosomes; also from nucleus, offering one binding site for one mRNA and three sites for tRNA), tRNA carries out the anticodon to the codons. tRNA is produced in the similar process from that of the mRNA and rRNA, only using different polymerases. The anticodon and codon match up, producing polypeptide chains of amino acids, which later become proteins. Another thing to mention, mRNA just writhes away once its sequence is matched up, but tRNA stays in the cytoplasm permanently.
Yes, tRNA is single-stranded.
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the attachment of an amino acid to tRNA. This process is vital for protein synthesis, ensuring that the correct amino acid is paired with its corresponding tRNA molecule.

mRNA is made up of anticodons

Proteins are made in the ribosomes when the mRNA strand from the nucleus is matched with the anti codon tRNA strand.
Charged tRNA has an amino acid attached to it, ready for protein synthesis, while uncharged tRNA does not have an amino acid attached. Charged tRNA binds to the appropriate codon on the mRNA during translation, while uncharged tRNA cannot participate in translation.
mRNA goes out the the ribosome (rRNA) to undergo translation via tRNA
Yes, tRNA is single-stranded.
The tRNA will not be recognized by tRNA synthetase and cannot be charged.
If a molecule of mRNA has AUG as its codon, what anticodon must its complementary tRNA contain?
tRNA (transfer RNA) is used to bring the amino acids to the ribosome when a protein is being made. tRNA has an anticodon that matches with the codon on the mRNA, so that it knows which amino acid to add to the protein that is being created.
trna does not carry structural informatio while mrna has several codons and the trna has one anti codon.
