Question

what does a trna transfer? hint: this is what is transferred to a growing protein, an amino acid an mrna a codon an anticodon anti - means \to oppose\ or \against\. what does an anticodon oppose? choose the single best answer, a specific location in one of the legs in the tertiary structure of the trna three bases at a specific location in a trnas tertiary structure a codon in mrna an amino acid in the trnas attachment site evaluate whether the following statement is true or false: a trna that has an empty attachment site can still participate in translation. true false

Explanation:

• First question: tRNA (transfer RNA) is responsible for transferring amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. The ribosome links these amino acids together to form a growing protein chain.
• Second question: The anticodon on tRNA pairs with the codon on mRNA. This complementary base - pairing ensures that the correct amino acid (carried by tRNA) is added to the growing polypeptide chain.
• Third question: A tRNA with an empty attachment site (i.e., not carrying an amino acid) cannot participate in translation. During translation, tRNA brings the amino acid to the ribosome. Without an amino acid, it cannot contribute to the formation of the polypeptide chain.

Answer:

• First question: an amino acid
• Second question: a codon in mRNA
• Third question: False
