What is true according to the adaptor hypothesis? a. The anticodon and amino acid have no relationship. b. A given tRNA can carry any of the twenty amino acids. c. The position of an amino acid within a polypeptide is determined by the binding of mRNA with a tRNA carrying specific amino acid. d. An amino acid recognizes the codon in mRNA.

Step 1
The adaptor hypothesis is related to the function of tRNA in protein synthesis. According to this hypothesis, tRNA molecules act as adaptors that recognize specific codons on mRNA and carry the corresponding amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis. So, Show more…

Which one of the following statements is true for protein synthesis (translation)? (a) amino acids are directly recognized by $\mathrm{m}$-RNA (b) the third base of the codon is less specific (c) only one codon codes for an amino acid (d) every t-RNA molecule has more than one amino acid attachment.
The tRNA molecule has been called an adaptor molecule because: a. It binds to both DNA and RNA b. It recognizes both RNA and an amino acid c. ALL tRNA molecules have been modified from mRNA d. It binds to both amino acids and DNA
