b
anticodon on the mRNA only.
c
codon on the mRNA only.
d
anticodon on the tRNA to which the amino acid is attached only.

The correct answer is:
**a. codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA to which the amino acid is attached.**
During translation, the codon on the mRNA pairs with the anticodon on the tRNA, and this interaction determines which amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.
**a. codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA to which the amino acid is attached.**
During translation, the codon on the mRNA pairs with the anticodon on the tRNA, and this interaction determines which amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.
