-The tRNA shown in the figure has its 3' end projecting beyond its 5' end. What will occur at this 3' end?
A) The codon and anticodon complement one another.
B) The amino acid binds covalently.
C) The excess nucleotides (ACCA) will be cleaved off at the ribosome.
D) The small and large subunits of the ribosome will attach to it.
E) The 5' cap of the mRNA will become covalently bound.

The 3' end of tRNA is where the amino acid binds covalently. This is a fundamental aspect of tRNA's role in protein synthesis, as it carries the amino acid that corresponds to the codon being read on the mRNA.
