The Portion of the TRNA Molecule That Binds to the Codon

Question

The portion of the tRNA molecule that binds to the codon on the mRNA is called the
A)c-codon.
B)anticodon.
C)complementary codon.
D)paracodon.

Accepted Answer

The portion of the tRNA molecule that binds to the codon on the mRNA is called the anticodon. This is a specific sequence of nucleotides that is complementary to the codon on the mRNA, allowing for accuracy in the translation of the genetic code. The other answer choices (A, C, and D) are not accurate terms for this portion of the tRNA molecule.
