A three-base sequence (loop)in tRNA that is complementary to a sequence of three bases in mRNA is a(n)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three-base sequence (loop) in tRNA that is complementary to a sequence of three bases in mRNA is the anticodon. The anticodon pairs with the codon (a three-base sequence in mRNA) during translation to ensure that the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. The other choices - promoter, terminator, and amino acid attachment site - are all important in gene expression, but they do not directly relate to the pairing of tRNA and mRNA during translation.
