Which RNA molecule carries amino acids?

Back

transfer RNA

Front

What happens during the process of translation?

Back

The cell uses information from messenger RNA to produce proteins.

Front

If the DNA code is A-T-G, what would its complementary strand of mRNA be?

Back

U-A-C

Front

If the mRNA codon reads U-G-A, then the tRNA anticodon would be
