C. tRNA - 1. contains an anticodon, 2. has amino acids covalently attached, 7. contains exons
Extra Explanation:
Ribonucleic acids (RNA) are biomolecules that are involved in many important biological processes in living organisms. There are three main types of RNA: ribosomal RNA (rRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), and transfer RNA (tRNA). Each type of RNA has unique characteristics and functions.
1. rRNA is the most abundant form of RNA in the cell, and it is a component of ribosomes, which are the cellular structures that are involved in protein synthesis. rRNA is assembled in the nucleolus, a specialized region of the cell nucleus.
2. mRNA carries the genetic information that specifies the amino acid sequence of a protein from the nucleus to the ribosomes, where it is translated into a protein. mRNA contains exons, which are the coding regions of the gene, and introns, which are non-coding regions that are spliced out before the mRNA is translated into a protein.
3. tRNA is a small RNA molecule that has an anticodon, which is a sequence of three nucleotides that is complementary to the codon on the mRNA. tRNA also has amino acids covalently attached to it, and it brings the correct amino acid to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
