Matching of base pair is the reason for the tRNA molecule attachment to the mRNA molecule.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The mRNA strand is the process of synthesizing, making proteins from amino acids. tRNA molecules bring the amino acids to the mRNA strand.
  • The tRNA molecule that will attach to the mRNA strand. The pairing of base pairs takes place as Cytosine (C) with guanine (G), and adenine (A) with uracil (U).
  • The molecules of tRNA match up with the amino acids then the tRNA molecules which carry their amino acids towards the mRNA strand by pairing is called translation.
  • The pairing of the is done by the anticodon in which the tRNA matches up with a codon on the mRNA to get the desired base pair.
