An anticodon is the sequence of the nitrogenous bases on the:
Correct answer: D. tRNA molecule which recognizes the appropriate sequence of bases on the mRNA
- A. Complementary strand of DNA which codes for one amino acid
- B. Complementary strand of mRNA which codes for one amino acid
- C. tRNA molecule where the amino acid is attached
- D. tRNA molecule which recognizes the appropriate sequence of bases on the mRNA
- E. mRNA molecule which instructs the ribosomes to initiate
Explanation
Anticodons are present on the tRNA molecules which complement codons on the mRNA molecules, which is mentioned in statement D. All other options are factually wrong.
