Detailed explanation-1: -Each tRNA molecule has two distinct ends, one of which binds to a specific amino acid, and the other which binds to the corresponding mRNA codon. During translation, these tRNAs carry amino acids to the ribosome and join with their complementary codons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each tRNA has its corresponding amino acid attached to its end. When a tRNA recognizes and binds to its corresponding codon in the ribosome, the tRNA transfers the appropriate amino acid to the end of the growing amino acid chain.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transfer-RNA molecules (tRNA) are crucial to protein translation as they decode the genetic code held on messenger RNA for a particular protein. Each tRNA has three nucleic acid bases (the anticodon) that base pairs to a complementary triplet of nucleic acid bases on mRNA (the codon).
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: tRNAs have one amino acid attached per molecule.
