|
This type of RNA is used as a messenger, in the shape of a straight strand, contains codons, matches up with anticodons

|
This type of RNA is found in the ribosomes

Detailed explanation-1: -It is the messenger RNA codon that carries the message specifying a certain amino acid; it is the transfer RNA that transfers that amino acid to the growing protein chain. • The tRNA anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides that are the complement of the three nucleotides in the mRNA codon.
Detailed explanation-2: -A type of RNA found in cells. mRNA molecules carry the genetic information needed to make proteins. They carry the information from the DNA in the nucleus of the cell to the cytoplasm where the proteins are made. Also called messenger RNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -mRNA has a linear structure and carries genetic information copied from DNA. tRNA has an L shaped 3D structure.
Detailed explanation-4: -tRNAs bring their amino acids to the mRNA in a specific order. This order is determined by the attraction between a codon, a sequence of three nucleotides on the mRNA, and a complementary nucleotide triplet on the tRNA, called an anticodon. This anticodon also specifies the particular amino acid that the tRNA carries.
