During translation, the type of amino acid that is added to the growing polypeptide depends on the _____ A. codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the rRNA. B. anticodon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA. C. anticodon on the rRNA and the codon on the mRNA. D. codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA

Step 1
Translation is the process by which ribosomes synthesize proteins using the information encoded in mRNA. During translation, the ribosome reads the mRNA codons and matches them with the appropriate tRNA anticodons. Each tRNA carries a specific amino acid that Show more…
