amino acid and RNA (or anticodon)

tRNA is used in the process of translation, which is when cells create a protein (polypeptide) from a strand of mRNA just came from the nucleus and is floating in the cytoplasm. This process occurs with the help of ribosomes!

A ribosome binds to an mRNA molecule, and tRNA's come swooping in one at a time to add amino acids to a growing polypeptide chain (protein).

On one end of the tRNA is a set of 3 RNA bases (called an anticodon), that binds perfectly to the opposing next 3 bases on the mRNA strand (called a codon) as it works it way through the ribosome. On the other side of the tRNA is the amino acid that the codon on the mRNA codes for, thus allowing the specific protein to grow 1 amino acid at a time.

Telophase II begins after the separation of sister chromatids. In this phase individual chromosomes reach at pole. Nuclear membrane starts getting formed around them and cytokinesis takes place. Cytokinesis is the division of cytoplasm.

This results in the formation of four daughter cells which are haploid.

jekas [21]

We can tell from their structure that fatty acids are a good source of energy because of their large number of carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon bonds that they contain. Most fatty acids have straight chain compounds with an even number of carbon.

How did the person’s early years influence his/her achievements later in life?

vlabodo [156]

A person would have to consider Harriet' s upbringing in that time and imagine all the wrong doing she has seen regarding her parents care; therefore, witnessing her own care as a slave as well. It's no wonder that eventually, one would desire they're own true freedom.
