Q. Clover leaf secondary structure of $t$RNA has anticodon arm which
A) Contains in its loop three nucleotides of the codon
B) Contains in its loop three nucleotides of the anticodon
C) Contains in its no nucleotides
D) Both (a) and (b)
Explanation
The anticodon loop of two-dimensional clover leaf model of $t$RNA consists of seven unpaired bases the third, fourth and fifth of which (form the 3’ end of molecule) constitute the anticodon. The anticodon permits complementary pairing with three bases on $m$RNA.
