Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The tRNA molecule has a distinctive folded structure with three hairpin loops that form the shape of a three-leafed clover. One of these hairpin loops contains a sequence called the anticodon, which can recognize and decode an mRNA codon.
Detailed explanation-2: -The anticodon on the tRNA that delivers the methionine to the ribosome is UAC, whereas tRNAs with anticodons of AAU, AAC, GAA, GAG, GAU, and GAC deliver leucine.
Detailed explanation-3: -Each tRNA contains the anticodon for a specific mRNA codon and carries the amino acid corresponding to that codon to ribosomes during translation.
