Which Molecule Carries an Anticodon

Question

Which molecule carries an anticodon?
A)DNA
B)mRNA
C)rRNA
D)tRNA

Accepted Answer

tRNA (transfer RNA) carries an anticodon, which is a sequence of nucleotides that is complementary to a specific codon on the mRNA during translation. The anticodon and codon pairing ensures that the correct amino acid is added to the growing protein chain. DNA carries the genetic code, mRNA carries the transcript of the genetic code from the nucleus to the ribosome, and rRNA helps to assemble the protein-synthesizing machinery of the ribosome.
