The anticodon loop of the tRNA that complements mRNA is?

Everyday Science / Biology — Multiple-choice practice

  1. A. D loop
  2. B. Middle loop
  3. C. T loop
  4. D. Alpha loop

Correct answer

Middle loop

Explanation

Explanation The loop of the tRNA that complements mRNA is the Middle loop, which is more commonl y known as the anticodon loop. Anticodon loop (Middle loop): This loop contains a sequence of three nucleotides, the anticodon, which is complementary to a specific codon on the messenger RNA (mRNA). This is the site that ensures the correct amino acid is delivered during protein synthesis.
