Question

Gene Expression—Flow of Information from Gene to Protein Tour. Where is the anticodon located?

A) In the mRNA molecule.
B) In the ribosome.
C) On the tRNA molecule.
D) In the DNA molecule.

Answer 1

The anticodon is located on the tRNA molecule and it recognizes and binds to the corresponding codon on the mRNA during translation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The anticodon is located on the tRNA molecule. During translation, the tRNA carries the correct amino acid to the ribosome, where it binds to the mRNA codon through complementary base pairing. The anticodon on the tRNA molecule recognizes and binds to the corresponding codon on the mRNA, allowing the sequence of amino acids to be properly synthesized into a protein.
