Biology- mRNA and tRNA

What are the features of mRNA

• a copy of one gene from DNA

• Much shorter lived than DNA

• mRNA is a single stranded every 3rd base in sequence code for one amino acid (codons)

Where is mRNA created and where does it leave in order to do its function? (4)

mRna is created in the nucleus

it leaves via the nuclear pore

it carries the copy of the genetic code of one gene to a ribosome

in the cytoplasm

where is tRNA found ?

What is the structure of tRNA?

function?

It is found in the cytoplasm

it is a single stranded but has a cloverleaf shape that are held in place due to hydrogen bonds

it brings a specific amino acid to the ribosome

What is the differences in tRNA and mRNA

mRNA carries the copy of a genetic code of one gene to a ribosome meanwhile the tRNA carries a specific amino acid to a ribosomet

what are the 3 bases found in tRNA called ?

what are the 3 bases found in mRNA called?

tRNA- anticodon

mRNA -codon
