Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complementarity of the codon-anticodon determines which amino acid will be added to the growing polypeptide chain during translation. The codon on the mRNA pairs with a complementary anticodon on the tRNA carrying the corresponding amino acid. This forms the basis of the genetic code. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as DNAse plays no role in translation, the sequence of nucleotides at the 5' end of the tRNA primarily affects its binding to the ribosome, and the secondary structure of the protein is determined by the amino acid sequence and other factors.
