[-DNA & RNA Code of Life

The diagram above illustrates a molecule of t-RNA, also known
as transfer RNA. It is a piece of RNA which picks
up and carries specific amino acids through the cytoplasm and brings them to
the ribosome where it will match the anticodon part of the t-RNA to the codon
part of m-RNA (See diagram below.) The amino acid would be carried at the top
of the t-RNA molecule seen above.
