STANDARD Zoology Protein Synthesis MCQ Question
Which one of the following pairs is correctly matched
Ribosomal RNA-Carries amino acids to the site of protein synthesis
Transcription-Process by which protein is synthesized
Translation-Process by which m-RNA carries the information from the nucleus to ribosomes
Anticodon-Site of a t-RNA molecule hydrogen bond that binds to the m-RNA molecule
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides in a tRNA molecule that pairs with the complementary codon in mRNA during protein synthesis. This ensures the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.
