Describe the structure of tRNA and how it is related to its function. Relate the base sequence of nucleic acids to the amino acid sequence of polypeptides, when provided with suitable data about the genetic code.

Explain how the structure of tRNA is adapted for its function. Provide students with an mRNA code and ask them to translate it into an amino acid sequence (when provided with appropriate information).
