Anti codons are part of the structure of?

An anticodon is a three nucleotide sequence found as part of Transfer RNA. The anticodon is the portion of the tRNA that binds to the relevant portion of the messenger RNA (mRNA). Overall, the anticodon assists in matching amino acid sequences to mRNA codon sequences during protein synthesis.


What does mRnA tRnA and rRnA stand for and what do they do?

DNA is found in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell as condensed chromatin fibres wrapped around histone proteins in the form of chromosomes. Mitchondria have their own DNA, mitochondrial DNA, which is found in the mitochondria. There are different types of RNA, ribosomal RNA, messenger RNA and transfer RNA. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is found in ribosomes and in the nucleolus where it is manufactured. messenger RNA (mRNA) can be found in the nucleus when it is translating DNA to mRNA in translation. It can also be found in the cytoplasm or attached to ribosomes that are transcribing the mRNA to synthesise polypeptides/protiens. transfer RNA (tRNA) can be found in the cytoplasm or around ribosomes where they transfer amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis in transcription.


Transfer RNA carries what to the messenger RNA?

When mRNA is being translated, it is attached to a ribosome. The tRNA brings an amino acid to be attached to the growing polypeptide chain connected to the ribosome. It interacts with the mRNA because the tRNA's anticodon has to be correctly paried with the mRNA's codon. This ensures that the right amino acid will be added to the polypeptide.


The function of transfer RNA molecules is to?

The tRNA helps to form amino acid in the cytoplasm during protein synthesis as a specific enzymes for activation and for attaching itself to corresponding tRNA. The tRNA has an anticodon complementry to the appropriate codon of the RNA.


What is the difference between mRNA and DNA?

"mRNA" is an abbreviation for Messenger RNA. It carries the genetic code for protein to the rRNA (ribosomal RNA) and enzymes in the ribosomes where tRNA (transfer RNA) carries amino acids which are matched to the mRNA to form protein. DNA is the originating molecule containing the master copy of the code. This is copied to the mRNA first. The differences between DNA and RNA are that 1) RNA has uracil in place of thymine and 2) RNA uses ribose instead of the 2-deoxyribose in DNA. There are both double stranded and single stranded DNA and RNA in nature so this is not a defining difference. It depends on what sort of organism it is as to where these compounds are in the cell but the process is similar. In the eukaryotes, there is an extra step that takes place in the nucleus where the mRNA is first cut and spliced.
