Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The placement of the amino acid during translation is determined by the complementarity of the codon-anticodon. The codon on the mRNA strand matches with the anticodon on the tRNA, which carries the corresponding amino acid. The ribosome facilitates this process, ensuring that the amino acids are added in the correct order to form a functional protein. DNase (A) is not involved in translation, but is an enzyme that cleaves DNA. The sequence of nucleotides at the 5' end of the tRNA (C) determines its specificity for a particular amino acid, but does not affect the placement of the amino acid during translation. The secondary structure of the newly forming protein (D) is determined by the sequence of amino acids that have already been added, and is not involved in the placement of the next amino acid.
