Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What happens when the Anticodon and Codon match up
A
the amino acid is delivered
B
the protein is released
C
the mRNA is released
D
the rRNA is released
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A tRNA with the complementary anticodon is attracted to the ribosome and binds to this codon. The tRNA carries the next amino acid in the polypeptide chain. The first tRNA transfers its amino acid to the amino acid on the newly arrived tRNA, and a chemical bond is made between the two amino acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anticodons are found on molecules of tRNA. Their function is to base pair with the codon on a strand of mRNA during translation. This action ensures that the correct amino acid will be added to the growing polypeptide chain. A tRNA molecule will enter the ribosome bound to an amino acid.

Detailed explanation-3: -The anticodon is a perfect match for another three nucleotide sequence found in the mRNA, which is its complementary codon. When tRNA can identify the mRNA codon that is complementary to its own anticodon, this process is called codon recognition.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anticodon Each time an amino acid is added to a growing polypeptide during protein synthesis, a tRNA anticodon pairs with its complementary codon on the mRNA molecule, ensuring that the appropriate amino acid is inserted into the polypeptide.

Detailed explanation-5: -The relationship between codons, anticodons, and amino acids are: The codons are the complementary nucleotide base of the DNA sequence found in mRNA molecule, and the anticodon is the complementary nucleotide base of codon located in the tRNA arm. The codon and anticodon work together to bring desired amino acids.
