Which of the following observations proves that the anticodon of a tRNA molecule and not the amino acid that it carries, recognizes and binds to the mRNA code at the ribosome?
A. A trNA carrying a valine but with an isoleucine anticodon does not place any amino acid
onto a growing peptide chain when an isoleucine mRNA codon is present.
B. A tRNA carrying a valine with a valine anticodon places a valine onto a growing peptide chain
when only the first two bases of anticodon pairs with the mRNA codon.
C. A tRNA carrying a valine with a valine anticodon does not place any amino acid
onto a growing peptide chain when only the first two bases of anticodon pairs with the mRNA codon.
D. A tRNA carrying a valine but with an isoleucine anticodon places a
valine onto a growing peptide chain when an isoleucine mRNA codon is present.
How is this the answer?? (answer hidden, highlight) --> D
