Question
State whether true or false:
The anticodon loop of a specific tRNA molecule contains a set of three nucleotide bases which are complementary to the codon of the respective amino acid it carries on the AA binding site.
The anticodon loop of a specific tRNA molecule contains a set of three nucleotide bases which are complementary to the codon of the respective amino acid it carries on the AA binding site.
Answer: Option A
:
A
Codon is a set of three nucleotide bases on the mRNA strand, and codes for a specific amino acid. Each tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid at its amino acid (AA) binding site or amino acid acceptor arm. The loop opposite to it (as seen in the clover leaf structure) is called the anticodon loop, which contains a set of three nucleotide bases complementary to the codon of the respective amino acid.
