Step 2 in translation, the tRNA carrying the amino acids specified by the codon in the ____ site ____
A
P, dies
B
P, arrives
C
A, dies
D
A, arrives
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. Each tRNA has its corresponding amino acid attached to its end.

Detailed explanation-2: -During translation, these tRNAs carry amino acids to the ribosome and join with their complementary codons. Then, the assembled amino acids are joined together as the ribosome, with its resident rRNAs, moves along the mRNA molecule in a ratchet-like motion.
