Question

which statement best describes how the structure of trna relates to its function?○ one end binds to a codon, while the other end carries an amino acid.○ the t shape helps lock it into place on the mrna strand.○ its t shape allows it to wrap around amino acids to bring them to mrna.○ it has a negative charge to help it attract other nucleotides.

Explanation:

tRNA's core functional structure involves two key ends: one has an anticodon that base-pairs with a complementary codon on mRNA, and the opposite end carries the specific amino acid corresponding to that codon. The T-shape is a secondary structure that stabilizes the molecule but does not lock it to mRNA or wrap around amino acids; its negative charge is a property of all RNA but not the direct link to its unique function.

Answer:

One end binds to a codon, while the other end carries an amino acid.
