Hello everyone here's our next question. It says which of the following molecules as the anti code on. But we call the anti code on are the three complementary bases to the bases in the code on. So which molecule has the three complementary bases to pair with the M. RNA transcript? And that of course is our choice B. T. R. N. A. Which binds to the M. RNA transcript using its anti code on which is complementary to the code on. And of course brings over with it the specific amino acid that's being coded for that's added to the growing polyp peptide strand. The M. RNA is incorrect because of course it's the actual transcript with the cotton's on it and not anti condon's the R. RNA. Is that ribosomes RNA whose purpose is aided in um the stabilizing the connection between the M. R. N. A. And the ribosomes. So that's not an answer. And then finally Choice D. The S. I. RNA. Or silent RNA is part of the regulation of gene expression but not this and containing anti code on. So not our answer here. So again which of the following molecules has the anti code on? Choice B. T. R. N. A. C. On the next video
