DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Set of 3 nitrogen bases that are complementary to a codon and are found on tRNA.
A
peptide bond
B
polypeptide
C
anti-codon
D
amino acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As per the codons on mRNA, tRNA provides the amino acids to the ribosome (site of protein synthesis). The nucleotides of tRNA are complimentary to the three nitrogenous bases of the codon on the mRNA, hence they are called anticodons.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mRNA bases are grouped into sets of three, called codons. Each codon has a complementary set of bases, called an anticodon. Anticodons are a part of transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anticodon An anticodon is a trinucleotide sequence located at one end of a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule, which is complementary to a corresponding codon in a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is involved in the transition of a sequence of nucleotides of RNA into amino acids sequence for the production of proteins known as transfer RNA. There are nitrogen bases that are involved in the transfer of RNA such as adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C).
