question 33 (1.7 points)
what is the function of an anticodon in trna?
it pairs with the complementary codon in mrna during translation
it carries the genetic code from dna to the ribosome
it catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds
it modifies proteins after they are synthesized

Explanation:

Translation is the process of protein - synthesis where the mRNA sequence is used to assemble amino acids into a polypeptide chain. Ribosomes are the sites where this occurs as they read the mRNA codons and match them with the appropriate tRNA anticodons. The anticodon in tRNA has a complementary sequence to the codon in mRNA and pairs with it during translation to ensure the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.

Answer:

1. In the ribosome
2. It pairs with the complementary codon in mRNA during translation
