Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a molecule of RNA encoding a chemical "blueprint" for a protein product. mRNA is transcribed from a DNA template, and carries coding information to the sites of protein synthesis: the ribosomes. Here, the nucleic acid polymer is translated into a polymer of amino acids: a protein. In mRNA as in DNA, genetic information is encoded in the sequence of four nucleotides arranged into codons of three bases each. Each codon encodes for a specific amino acid, except the stop codons that terminate protein synthesis. This process requires two other types of RNA: transfer RNA (tRNA) mediates recognition of the codon and provides the corresponding amino acid, while ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is the central component of the ribosome's protein manufacturing machinery.

What attaches to a codon?

A transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule attaches to a codon during translation. The tRNA carries a specific amino acid corresponding to the codon, and the interaction between the tRNA and the codon helps in adding the correct amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain.


Which type of RNA has the anti codon?

tRNA


What is the name of the process where RNA codon is read and the tRNA anti-codon brings amino acids to the codon?

What is a anyi-codon?

an anticodon is a base sequence on tRNA which is completmently to the codon on the mRNA strand.


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.


Complementary to an mRNA codon?

it depends on the codon spcified. The tRNA will have the complementary strand along with an amino acid, for which is specified by the mRNA. if the mRNA codon was "CGA" the tRNA codon would have an amino acid and the complementary codon of "GCU"


What tRNA molecule will match the mRNA codon produced from the following DNA code?

To determine the matching tRNA molecule for an mRNA codon derived from a given DNA sequence, first, transcribe the DNA to mRNA by replacing thymine (T) with uracil (U). Then, identify the corresponding codon from the mRNA. Each codon consists of three nucleotides, and the tRNA anticodon will be complementary to this codon. If you provide the specific DNA sequence, I can help you find the exact tRNA molecule.


What amino acid is attached to the tRNA with the anti-codon 5'-GUC-3'?

What is the structure of tRNA molecule?

trna does not carry structural informatio while mrna has several codons and the trna has one anti codon.


What molecule contain anticodons?

The tRNA gene sequence is the anti-codon while mRNA is the codon sequence.


What is the role of the tRNA anticodon?

the tRNA carries only the amino acid that the anti-codon specifies. for example: one tRNA molecule for the amino acid cysteine has an anticodon of ACA. this anticodon binds to thh mRNA codon UGU.
