  1. Question 1

    Q1. In the clover-leaf model of tRNA, which specific region is designed to base-pair with a complementary sequence on the messenger RNA?

    • A) Anticodon loop
    • B) D-loop
    • C) T-loop
    • D) Amino acid binding site

    Answer: Anticodon loop

    Explanation: The anticodon loop recognizes mRNA. The amino acid binding site is tempting but it is located at the 3' end, not the loop.
