- What is an anticodon and where is it located on the tRNA structure?arrow_forwardYou find that a diploid specimen in the lab has a mutation in a tRNA gene on one of its chromosomes. The anticodon of this variant tRNA has changed from 5’ UUC 3’ to 5’ UUA 3’, but can still be charged with its typical amino acid.
