If a molecule of mRNA has AUG as its codon, what anticodon must its complementary tRNA contain?
Ribosomes are the complexes that help cells during protein translation by joining amino acids together to form polypeptides. Ribosomes are composed of RNA and protein, and they catalyze the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids based on the mRNA sequence.
mRNA decodes information from DNA during protein synthesis, which occurs in the ribosomes. The mRNA carries the genetic code from the DNA to the ribosomes where it is used to assemble amino acids into proteins following the rules of the genetic code.
Polypeptides (i.e. proteins) are created during the process of translation. Translation occurs at the ribosomes - the mRNA codon (3-base code) is matched with the corresponding anti-codon on tRNA. The tRNA carries an amino acid, which is joined to the chain being created. The amino acids are joined together - forming a protein.
Proteins are not made of mRNA (it "only" carries the instructions from the nucleus) but from the amino acids that are brought by the tRNA (Transport) to the rRNA (Ribosomes). The process is called translation.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules are responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosomes during protein translation. Each tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid at one end and has an anticodon sequence at the other end that pairs with the mRNA codon. This matching of the tRNA anticodon with the mRNA codon ensures that the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.

mRNA is the RNA that carries information during transcription and translation. It has codons, which match up with the anticodons on tRNA. tRNA is the RNA that bonds to amino acids and transfers them to ribosomes, and mRNA.
Proteins are not made of mRNA (it "only" carries the instructions from the nucleus) but from the amino acids that are brought by the tRNA (Transport) to the rRNA (Ribosomes). The process is called translation.
tRNA is in the cytoplasm where it picks up amino acids and takes them to the ribosomes during translation.
transfer
The process of translation occurs in the ribosomes of a cell. It involves the decoding of messenger RNA (mRNA) into a specific sequence of amino acids to form a protein. Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules bring the corresponding amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules carry amino acids to ribosomes where they are linked to the growing polypeptide chain during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid and has an anticodon sequence that base pairs with the codon on the mRNA.
The term for a clover-leaf shaped RNA that carries amino acids to ribosomes for protein synthesis is "transfer RNA" (tRNA). Each tRNA molecule binds to a specific amino acid and recognizes the corresponding codons on the mRNA through its anticodon region. This interaction ensures that the correct amino acids are incorporated into the growing polypeptide chain during translation.
