The anticodon tRNA strand is a sequence of three nucleotides that is complementary to a corresponding codon on mRNA. For example, if the mRNA codon is AUG, the anticodon on the tRNA would be UAC. This complementary pairing ensures that the correct amino acid is added during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid that corresponds to its anticodon.

What is a anyi-codon?

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


What is the tRNA anticodon for T-A-C?

The tRNA anticodon for TAC would be AUG. However, tRNA does not transcribe DNA and would not come in contact with the nitrogen base thymine. A better question would be what is the tRNA anticodon for the mRNA codon UAC.


What is the anticodon for cgc?

The matching anticodon for GCA would be CGU.


What do the circles of the tRNA represent?

The circles in tRNA represent the secondary structure of the molecule, which consists of a cloverleaf shape with loops and stems. Each circle corresponds to a segment of the tRNA molecule, including the acceptor arm, amino acid arm, D loop, T loop, and anticodon loop. These elements are essential for the proper function of tRNA in protein synthesis.


What anticodon would be found on the tRNA molecule carrying glycine?

Serine


What is anticodon for methinonine?

The anticodon for methionine is 5'-CAU-3'. When the methionine tRNA binds to a methionine codon (AUG) on a mRNA strand, the anticodon pairs with the codon through complementary base pairing, allowing for the insertion of methionine during protein synthesis.


What identifies the specific amino acid for tRNA?

The messenger RNA strand. When the tRNA inserts itself between the two portions of the ribosome attached to the mRNA strand, the specific tRNA depends on the 3 nitrogen bases on the mRNA (the codon) that are about to be read. The tRNA that arrives has a corresponding "anticodon" to go with the codon on the mRNA. For example, if the nitrogen bases on the mRNA strand are adenine, guanine, and cytocine the tRNA will have an anticodon of uracil, cytocine and guanine. The tRNA that has the corresponding anticodon to the codon on the mRNA will bring with it a specific amino acid but it is the codon on the mRNA that ultimately decided which amino acid is next in line.


What are 3 bases on tRNA called?

I'm not completely sure but I think it's uracine, glycine, cytosine, and adenine. But that's 4


What kind of RNA is an anticodon a part of?

Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries the anticodon.


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.


What are the base sequence called in tRNA?

They are anticodons


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"
