Amino acid is attached to which site of tRNA? |
Anticodon loop 3' end 5' end D-loop |
3' end |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 3' end In protein synthesis, amino acids are attached to the 3' end of tRNA. This end has a specific sequence that provides a binding site for the amino acid. tRNAs are specific for each amino acid. The anticodon site on the tRNA, which is separate from the 3' end, is responsible for recognizing the corresponding codon on the mRNA during translation. tRNA - the adapter molecule |
