Ribosomes are not membrane-bound organelles; they are freely floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough ER.

**Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase attaches amino acids to their corresponding tRNAs**, enabling translation.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 5: Molecular Basis of Inheritance Human Genome Project and DNA Fingerprinting
Translation does not produce DNA from RNA; it converts mRNA into protein.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 5: Molecular Basis of Inheritance Genetic Code and Translation
The wobble hypothesis states that the third base of a codon can form non-standard base pairing, allowing one tRNA to recognize multiple codons.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 5: Molecular Basis of Inheritance Genetic Code and Translation
tRNA is not involved in DNA replication; it functions in translation by delivering amino acids to ribosomes.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 5: Molecular Basis of Inheritance Genetic Code and Translation
The genetic code is non-overlapping, meaning codons are read sequentially.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 5: Molecular Basis of Inheritance Genetic Code and Translation
tRNA (transfer RNA) carries amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis during translation.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 5: Molecular Basis of Inheritance Genetic Code and Translation
Translation does not convert DNA into protein; it converts mRNA into protein.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 5: Molecular Basis of Inheritance Genetic Code and Translation
The anticodon loop of tRNA pairs with the codon of mRNA during translation.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 5: Molecular Basis of Inheritance Genetic Code and Translation
Each codon codes for only one specific amino acid, not multiple amino acids.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 5: Molecular Basis of Inheritance Genetic Code and Translation
Peptidyl transferase, an enzymatic function of rRNA, catalyzes peptide bond formation during translation.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Biology Chapter 5: Molecular Basis of Inheritance Genetic Code and Translation
Stop codons **signal the termination of translation**, ensuring the newly synthesized protein is released from the ribosome.
