Biology Question on the molecular basis of inheritance

Anticodon is present on

A

rRNA

B

t RNA

C

mtDNA

D

mRNA

Answer

t RNA

Explanation

Solution

The basic structure (clover leaf, 2D)2D) of tRNAt RNA contains 3 loops and one lump. The C3C_{3} ' arm is called acceptor arm. It has CCAC - C - A at its one end that accepts amino acid and form aminoacyl tRNA. TΨCT \Psi C loop (or ribosomal binding site) binds with the ribosome. Anticodon loop has three specific base sequences making the code. This code pairs with the codon present on the mRNA. DHU loop binds amino acid synthetase. This is made up of 8128-12 bases. A lump is present between TΨCT \Psi C loop and anticodon loop.
