B) at the 5' end of the tRNA molecule

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The anticodon is located in a loop opposite to both the terminals of the tRNA molecule. This is because the anticodon needs to be free to base pair with the codon on the mRNA during translation. The 3' end of the tRNA molecule is where the amino acid is attached, and the 5' end is where the phosphate group is attached.
