Anticodons are found on which type of RNA molecule?
A

B
mRNA
C
snRNA
D
tRNA
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of tRNA (transfer RNA) in protein synthesis. tRNA is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
Learn about the structure of tRNA. Each tRNA molecule has a specific three-nucleotide sequence called an anticodon.
Recognize that the anticodon on tRNA pairs with a complementary codon on mRNA (messenger RNA) during translation.
Differentiate between the types of RNA: rRNA (ribosomal RNA) is a component of ribosomes, mRNA carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome, and snRNA (small nuclear RNA) is involved in RNA splicing.
Conclude that anticodons are found on tRNA, as they are essential for matching the correct amino acid to the corresponding codon on the mRNA during protein synthesis.
