Question
Chapter 25, Problem 41P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The nature of the tRNA which is used to initiate translation is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The genetic information gets preserved in the DNA. Then from DNA, the messenger RNA carries information into the specific site of protein synthesis. Translation is described as a process which is used to synthesize specific protein from mRNA. The tRNA is used in this process.
Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is serves as a link between the amino acids sequence of proteins and mRNA. It specifies which sequence of the genetic code corresponds to which amino acid.
