drag each item on the left to its matching item on the right. note that every item may not have a match, while some items may have more than one match.
contains anticodons
can be found in cytoplasm
ribosomal component
contains codons

Explanation:

• rRNA: Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a ribosomal component. Ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm, so rRNA can be found in the cytoplasm.
• mRNA: Messenger RNA (mRNA) contains codons. mRNA is translated in the cytoplasm, so it can be found in the cytoplasm.
• tRNA: Transfer RNA (tRNA) contains anticodons. tRNA is involved in protein synthesis in the cytoplasm, so it can be found in the cytoplasm.

Answer:

• rRNA: can be found in cytoplasm, ribosomal component
• mRNA: can be found in cytoplasm, contains codons
• tRNA: contains anticodons, can be found in cytoplasm
