Once the original DNA has been unzipped and the mrna has made a complementary copy it is time for the trna to do its work. The mrna moves out of the nucleus and moves into the rrna where the trna come with certain group of 3 nucleotides which codes for a specific amino acid. When the bases on the trna and the ones on the mrna are matched it drops of its amino acid to the trna behind it which forms a peptide bond with the other amino acids.(The rrna has 3 slots where the trna sit and deposit their amino acid to the one behind in line to them.) After the mrna has fully been decoded into amino acids their chain breaks off to make a protein in the secondary, tertiary, or quaternary structure.

Trna has codons or anticodons?

anti-codons for sure!


Are codons and anticodons found in DNA?

I think codons are found on dna. Anticodons are found only on trna.


Where do codons and anticodons pair?

In the ribosome


How many anticodons are there?

Well, think about it. There are 64 codons so there must be 64 anticodons


Which two structures contain codons and anticodons?

mRNA tRNA

What is the purpose of the P site in ribosomes?

Anticodons are attached to the codons on the mRNA.


The structure that carries amino acids to the ribisomes?

tRNA. Transport ribonucleic acid, it is a 3 loop structure that brings specific amino acids to the ribosome. Has anticodons specific to the codons.


The three bases on the tRNA molecule that are complentary to one of the mRNA codons are called?

Anticodons.


Which molecule would you expect to find codons?

Codons are groups of three nucleotides on the mRNA strand. Codons are bound to the ribosomes where they are met by tRNA's anticodons. Together, the codons and anticodons form amino acids which bind together via peptide bonds and form amino acid chains known as polypeptides or proteins. These proteins are released into the cell to perform their desired functions.
