Question

Based on the following tRNA provided below in the diagram, which amino acid should get correctly charged to it?

a
PROLINE (Pro).
b
TRYPTOPHAN (Trp).
c
THREONINE (Thr).
d
GLYCINE (Gly).
e
None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct amino acid that should be charged to the tRNA molecule is TRYPTOPHAN (Trp).

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are provided with a tRNA molecule and need to determine which amino acid should correctly be charged to it. To identify the correct amino acid, we can look for the anticodon on the tRNA molecule. The anticodon is complementary to the codon on the mRNA, which codes for a specific amino acid. Based on Figure 16.7.3, we can match the anticodon on the tRNA to the codon in the mRNA to determine the amino acid. Therefore, the correct amino acid that should be charged to the tRNA molecule is TRYPTOPHAN (Trp).
