The tRNA molecule functions to pick up specific amino acids to take to the ribosomes which contains the anticodon that base pairs with the codon of the mRNA strand. This controls the type of amino acid is attached to the protein being formed.

In protein synthesis the anticodons are found on the?

The anticodons are found on tRNA molecules. tRNA molecules bring specific amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule has an anticodon region that is complementary to the codon on mRNA.


Each tRNA molecule carries a specific what?

Each tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid that corresponds to the anticodon sequence on the tRNA. This allows the tRNA to deliver the correct amino acid to the ribosome during protein synthesis.


Where exactly does an amino acid link to a tRNA molecule?

An amino acid links to the tRNA molecule at the binding site called the "aminoacyl site" (A-site) on the tRNA molecule. This process is catalyzed by an enzyme called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, which ensures the accurate pairing of the correct amino acid with its corresponding tRNA molecule.
