Question

What are the two types of RNA which carry methionine?

Answer 1

tRNA:

1. The clover leaf-like RNA is responsible for the synthesis of proteins by the process of translation.
2. It brings the amino acids on the mRNA strand to synthesize a long chain of proteins.

Two types of tRNA that carry methionine:

1. One of the tRNAs is used to initiate protein synthesis by bringing the first amino acid.
2. The second tRNA is used to elongate the amino acid chain by transferring the first amino acid to the exit site of the ribosome.
