D)variable arm and the D arm

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The acceptor stem of tRNA is a stem-loop structure that is located at the 3' end of the molecule. It consists of two regions that are base-paired to each other: the 5' end and a region near the end 3' end. The loop that includes the anticodon is located in the middle of the tRNA molecule. The terminal CCA is at the 3' end of the tRNA but is not part of the acceptor stem. The variable arm and the D arm are located at the opposite end of the tRNA molecule from the acceptor stem.
