∙ 11y agoThe amino acid that is attached to the tRNA is released at the mRNA codon that is complimentary to the tRNA anticodon for that amino acid, and placed into the chain of amino acids that is being formed at the ribosome.

Does tRNA deliver amino acids to ribosome?
n aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (aaRS) is an enzyme that catalyzes the esterification of a specific amino acid or its precursor to one of all its compatible cognate tRNAs to form an aminoacyl-tRNA (wikipedia)
What nucleic acid is the physical carrier of individual amino acids?
tRNA
Which type of Rna can only bond to one specific type of amino acid?
transfer RNA. (tRNA) it "picks up" an amino acid at the top and the two are connected by a hydrogen bond.
What is the role of tRNA in translation?
tRNA is used to carry the 20 different amino acids dissolved in the cytoplasm to the ribosomes to help build the polypeptide chain for proteins to be synthesized. Each tRNA molecule attaches to one type of amino acid.
When building an amino acid sequence what molecule picks up the amino acids and brings them to the ribosome?
the tRna.
What are the differences between a charged tRNA and an uncharged tRNA?
Well, charged tRNA means it has an amino acid attached. And a charged tRNA can read the codon of mRNA during translation.the charged tRNA mean that the correct amino acid is attached. uncharged means no amino acid is attached. mischarged means the wrong amino acid is attached. if the wrong amino acid is attached then there may be low levels which can cause misfolded proteins.
What are the differences between charged tRNA and uncharged tRNA?
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.
During translation the type of amino acid that is added to the growing polypeptide depends on what?
D. codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA to which the amino acid is attached. __________ On my packet it says answer C. Codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA but it's all the same thing XD
What is the type of amino acid during transcription that is added to the growing poly potide dependson is?
codon on the mrna and the anticodon trna to which the amino acid is attached
When a tRNA anticodon bind to an mRNA codon the amino acid detaches from the tRNA molecule and attaches to the end of a growing protein chain?
when another tRNA molecule attaches to the mRNA, and the first tRNA goes away leaving the first amino acid attached to the second.
When a tRNA anticodon binds to an mRNA codon does the amino acid detach from the tRNA molecule and bond to the end of a growing protein chain?
yes very much so, it's the anti-codon that tells the tRNA which amino acid to go get
How many amnio acids are attached to a single transfer rna?
A single transfer RNA (tRNA) carries a single amino acid.
Why does tRNA have a T shape?
The shape of tRNA is specifically designed to be able to accept the amino acid according to its anticodon. If tRNA was in any other shape, aminoacyl tRNA synthetase, the enzyme that adds amino acid to tRNA, would not be able to transfer the amino acid to tRNA.
What anti codon bonds with the RNa codon CCa?
The tRNA anticodon is GGU, which codes for the amino acid proline (pro).
What enzyme catalyzes the attachment of an amino acid to tRNA?
The enzyme that catalyzes the attachment of an amino acid to tRNA is aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.
What is the function of tRNA.?
tRNA mediates recognition of the codon and provides the corresponding amino acid. It mainly is recognized for carrying amino acids. It then gives to it mRNA to translate the nucleotides proteins.
What is an anticodon loop?
tRNA is involved in the translation of the nucleic acid message into the amino acids of proteins. tRNA itself is an RNA molecule with a conserved inverted L structure. One end of the tRNA contains an anticodon loop which pairs with a mRNA specifying a certain amino acid. The other end of the tRNA has the amino acid attached to the 3' OH group via an ester linkage.tRNA with an attached amino acid is said to be "charged". The enzyme that attaches the amino acid to the 3'-OH is called an aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (aaRS). There is a specific tRNA for each amino acid, 20 in all. Similarly, there is a specific aaRS for each tRNA.Only the first 2 nucleotides in the tRNA anticodon loop are strictly required for the decoding of the mRNA codon into an amino acid. The third nucleotide in the anticodon is less stringent in its base-pairing to the codon, and is referred to as the "wobble" base. Since the genetic code is degenerate, meaning that more than one codon can specify a single amino acid, the anticodon of tRNA can pair with more than one mRNA codon and still be specific for a single amino acid.
