Transfer RNA folds so that the amino acid binding site sits at one end and at the other end sits the:
APolymerase
BAnticodon
CPromoter
DRibosome
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Anticodon
1. Transfer RNA has to match a codon and carry an amino acid at once.
2. The transfer RNA folds into a specific shape.
3. It positions the amino acid binding site at one end.
4. At the other end it positions the anticodon.
