Question

place each of the terms in the proper category to identify whether they are associated with trna or mrna. labels ① drop zones reset all short, single - stranded chain of nucleotides with occasional areas of intramolecular binding located only in the cytoplasm carries information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm contains anticodons contains codons trna (1/2) mrna (2/2)

Explanation:

1. Short, single - stranded chain of nucleotides with occasional areas of intramolecular binding: This is a characteristic of tRNA. tRNA has a clover - leaf like secondary structure with areas of intramolecular base - pairing.
2. Located only in the cytoplasm: tRNA is found in the cytoplasm where it participates in translation.
3. Carries information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm: mRNA is transcribed in the nucleus and then moves to the cytoplasm to serve as a template for protein synthesis.
4. Contains anticodons: tRNA has an anticodon region that pairs with the codon on mRNA during translation.
5. Contains codons: mRNA contains codons, which are triplets of nucleotides that code for specific amino acids.

Answer:

• tRNA: Short, single - stranded chain of nucleotides with occasional areas of intramolecular binding, Located only in the cytoplasm, Contains anticodons
• mRNA: Carries information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, Contains codons
