Which of the classes of RNA molecules has an anticodon?
A) ribosomal RNA
B) transfer RNA
C) messenger RNA
D) primary mRNA transcript
E) ribozyme
Anticodon
Three-base sequence in a transfer RNA molecule base that pairs with a complementary codon in mRNA.
Transfer RNA
An adaptor molecule in protein synthesis that carries a specific amino acid to the ribosome, where its anticodon pairs with the corresponding codon on mRNA.
Ribosomal RNA
A type of RNA which, along with proteins, forms the structure of ribosomes and plays a role in the translation of mRNA into proteins.
