Is tRNA attached to an amino acid?
Amino acids are attached to one end of the transfer RNA molecules and the other end of the tRNA moleule attaches to the a-site of the ribosome.
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.
What identifies the specific amino acid for tRNA?
The messenger RNA strand. When the tRNA inserts itself between the two portions of the ribosome attached to the mRNA strand, the specific tRNA depends on the 3 nitrogen bases on the mRNA (the codon) that are about to be read. The tRNA that arrives has a corresponding "anticodon" to go with the codon on the mRNA. For example, if the nitrogen bases on the mRNA strand are adenine, guanine, and cytocine the tRNA will have an anticodon of uracil, cytocine and guanine. The tRNA that has the corresponding anticodon to the codon on the mRNA will bring with it a specific amino acid but it is the codon on the mRNA that ultimately decided which amino acid is next in line.
What are the two bonding sites of tRNA on the ribosomes?
tRNA has two binding sites on the ribosome first one is A-site (aninoacyl -tRNA binding site), and second one is P-site (peptidyl-tRNA binding site) and E-site (Exit site)
Carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis?
Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries amino acids from the cell cytoplasm to the ribosomes during the translation phase of protein synthesis. tRNA molecules have an amino acid at one end, and an anticodon at the opposite end, which is specific for a particular amino acid and pairs with its complementary mRNA codon at the ribosome.
How does the anticodon function?
Anticodon on the tRNA base- pair with the codon on the mRNA and catalyses the elongation of the polypeptide chain in translation. Besides that, anticodon are specific and the specific anticodon on the tRNA decides what types of amino acid it carries on the 3' end.
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.
Which of the following brings amino acids into a ribosome to be assembled into a protein?
transfer RNA (tRNA) attaches to amino acids and transports them to ribosomes, the site at which amino acids are assembled into proteins.I hope that helps!
Does transfer RNA carry coded messages from the nucleus to the cytoplasm?
tRNA molecules exist within the cell cytoplasm. They are strands of RNA, where one end is bound to a specific free amino acid, and the other end possesses an "anticodon" consisting of 3 bases complimentary to a set of 3 bases on the mRNA strand.During translation, an mRNA molecule is "read" by a ribosome in triplicate. That is, every three bases on the mRNA molecule effectively "tell" the ribosome to bind a specific tRNA molecule to this 3-base site. With the tRNA molecule comes the associated amino acid which is attached to it, and so, in a very simplified explanation, tRNA effectively carries amino acids to the mRNA.Bonds will then form between these amino acids, and dissociate from the ribosome, so that the end product is a long polypeptide chain.In the cytoplasm are tRNA molecules. These are strands of RNA. One end binds to a specific free amino acid, and the other end possesses an anticodon, which is able to bind with a specific codon on the mRNA moleculePeace.Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries amino acids to messenger RNA (mRNA) in order to build the polypeptides.
Is tRNA attached to an amino acid?
Amino acids are attached to one end of the transfer RNA molecules and the other end of the tRNA moleule attaches to the a-site of the ribosome.

Triplet of bases at one end of a folded tRNA molecule?
anticodon
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.
What is on the opposite end of an anticodon?
The anticodon is on one end of a tRNA molecule while an amino acid is on the other.
