Answer:

option (a) is correct.

Answer 2

Anticodon is an unpaired triplet of bases in an exposed position of tRNA.

* During the process of translation( protein synthesis), the tRNA carries the suitable amino acid to the mRNA template for being added to the amino acid chain.

Hence, tRNA is referred to as the adaptor molecule.

* The amino acid that is chosen by the tRNA depends on the complementary sequences present on the anticodon.

* The initiator tRNA or f-met tRNA carries the first amino acid of a chain, which is methionine in most of the cases.
