Since the mRNA codons correspond to DNA codons and tRNA codons correspond to mRNA codons, is there any difference between a DNA sequence and a tRNA sequence other than the substitution of Thymine with Uracil?

Because we also need to take into account the DNA's 5to 3 direction, the whole "DNA gets turned into mRNA" process is a little more intricate.

DNA is oriented in its 3-5 direction because it has two strands: a top strand that runs 5-3 and a complementary bottom strand that runs 5'-3' but runs in the opposite direction (like it got flipped around).

5-ATGCGTAGT-3 is the highest strand.

The bottom strand that is complementary is 3-TACGCATCA-5.

Thus, the double strand appears as follows: 5-ATGCGTAGT-3 3-TACGCATCA-5

Okay, that's great. The reason we're talking about this is that the bottom strand serves as a template for the transcription of the mRNA, so the DNA fragment above would produce an mRNA sequence that looks something like this in lowercase: 5-aug cgu agu -3-TACGCATCA-5.

The top strand DNA sequence is 5-ATGCGTAGT-3, which means that the mRNA that is produced is the SAME sequence at the top strand (U instead of T). This is because the mRNA is produced as a complement of the bottom strand, and the top strand is the complement to the bottom strand. The mRNA sequence is 5-aug cgu agu -3.

Let's now examine tRNA molecules, which are individual mRNA molecules. They have two major components—the anticodon loop and the 3 hydroxyl—which are attached to each other by an enzyme that results in a CHARGED tRNA (don't tell RNA researchers I said this; I did my PhD in RNA structure and they'd take it back if they read that).

The ribosome threads the mRNA through its spaces, which allow the tRNA to fit in. The space will stop over the top of a 3-nucleotide portion of the mRNA, which is the codon. The mRNA has the sequence 5-aug cgu agu -3, and each of those three nucleotides is a codon. The tRNA's anticodon loop has a 3-nucleotide section that can base pair with the condons on the mRNA.

3gca55-aug cgu agu -3}...and the subsequent tRNA binds and transfers its amino acid onto the preceding amino acid. This is the anticodon of the tRNA, 3uac5'. When base pairing takes place, the ribosome pulls off the amino acid on the tRNA and moves onto the next codon.

As a result, the amino acid chain continues to grow longer and longer as each new tRNA adds its amino acid to the expanding chain.

Yes, there are differences between DNA sequences and tRNA sequences beyond the substitution of thymine with uracil. tRNA sequences are shorter than DNA sequences, typically around 70-90 nucleotides long, while DNA sequences can be much longer. Additionally, tRNA sequences contain specific regions called anticodons that complement mRNA codons during translation, allowing tRNA molecules to carry the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome. DNA sequences do not contain anticodons. Finally, tRNA sequences often exhibit unique secondary and tertiary structures, such as stem-loop structures, which are crucial for their function in protein synthesis. DNA sequences, on the other hand, typically exist as double-stranded helices.
