Amino acids are attached to tRNA at the ________.

C)3' end
D)variable arm

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amino acids are covalently attached to tRNA at the 3' end. This forms an aminoacyl-tRNA molecule, which carries the specific amino acid to the ribosome during translation. The anticodon region and variable arm of tRNA help to recognize and bind to the complementary codon on the mRNA. The 5' end of tRNA contains a phosphorylated guanosine nucleotide, which is important for initiation of translation.
