Question

The adapter molecule:

Easy

A

Has a secondary structure that looks like inverted L
B

Is also referred to as sRNA
C

Has amino acid acceptor arm that has bases complementary to the code
D

There is no adapter molecule to initiate the process of translation.

Solution

The tRNA is also known as the adapter molecule. tRNA is also called sRNA or soluble RNA. The secondary structure of tRNA has been depicted that looks like a clover-leaf. In actual structure, the tRNA is a compact molecule which looks like inverted L. It has an amino acid acceptor end to which it binds to amino acids. For initiation of translation, there is specific tRNA that is referred to as initiator tRNA.
