In the protein/metabolic RNA molecule called transfer RNA. This molecule pichs up individual amino acids in the cytosol and brings them one at a time to the ribosome where the end of the molecule bearing the anticodon docks on the ribosome and adds it's amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain.

The molecule that contains an anticodon is?

transfer RNA or tRNA


How are tRNA polypeptide and anticodon related?

tRNA is a type of RNA molecule that carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. The tRNA has an anticodon sequence that is complementary to the mRNA codon, allowing it to base pair with the mRNA and ensure the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.


What part of tRNA should match the codon of the mRNA?

The anticodon loop of tRNA should match the codon of the mRNA during translation. The anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides on tRNA that is complementary to the codon on mRNA, allowing for the correct amino acid to be brought to the ribosome during protein synthesis.


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.


When building an amino acid sequence what molecule picks up the amino acids and brings them to the ribosome?

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is the molecule responsible for picking up amino acids and bringing them to the ribosome during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid and has an anticodon that pairs with the complementary codon on the messenger RNA (mRNA) being translated.

What would the anticodon tRNA strand be?

The anticodon tRNA strand is a sequence of three nucleotides that is complementary to a corresponding codon on mRNA. For example, if the mRNA codon is AUG, the anticodon on the tRNA would be UAC. This complementary pairing ensures that the correct amino acid is added during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid that corresponds to its anticodon.

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.
