Reading the figure. The labels the book prints on the drawings are the clues: 'Uracil' on the strand A tells us it is RNA, not DNA, and a long single strand of codons is messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries the encoded message from the gene. B is drawn as two subunits, the ribosome, whose structural framework is ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and which provides the binding site for the mRNA. C is the clover-leaf molecule with an 'Amino acid' attached at its 3' end: transfer RNA (tRNA), the adapter that reads the codon with its anticodon and brings the specific amino acid. …
