Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transfer RNA molecules (tRNA) carry amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule contains a specific anticodon sequence that matches the codon sequence on the messenger RNA (mRNA), allowing for the correct amino acid to be brought to the growing protein chain. Codons are sequences of three nucleotides on the mRNA that code for a specific amino acid, while an operator gene is a segment of DNA that controls the expression of other genes and has no direct involvement in protein synthesis.
