    What is/are true about tRNA?
    I. It binds with an amino acid at its 3' end.
    II. It has five double-stranded regions.
    III. It has a codon at one end which recognises the anticodon on messenger RNA.
    IV. It looks like clover leaf in the three dimensional structure.
    Codes

    A) I only              

    B) II and III

    C) III and IV                      

    D) I and IV

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Option [a] is true about tRNA. Anticodon is the sequence of three nucleotides in a transfer RNA molecule that pairs with a complementary sequence of three nucleotides (codon) on a molecule of messenger RNA. tRNA has CCA nucleotides at 3' end that is meant for attaching to a specific amino acid (AA-binding site). Rest options are not true about tRNA. These can be corrected as tRNA has four double-stranded regions. It has anticodon which recognise codon on tRNA. It looks like L-shaped in 3-D structure.
