Q

Messenger RNA

A

Messenger RNA brings the DNA code from the nucleus to the ribosomes. This code determines the amino acid sequence for a specific protein.

Q

what does tRNA do after mRNA is formed

A

Transfer RNA in the cytoplasm of the cell carries specific amino acids to the messenger RNA at the ribosome.

25
Q

What happens after tRNA carries amino acids to mRNA

A

tRNA binds to a codon on mRNA and link together to form polypeptides

26
Q

What happens after tRNA and mRNA bond

A

tRNA releases its amino acid and leaves to search for another amino acid
