Question

The function of tRNA is to

• A. Synthesize amino acids
• B. Transcribe the genetic code
• C. Form a site for protein synthesis
• D. Transport specific amino acids to specific sites on the mRNA

Answer 1

The correct option is D Transport specific amino acids to specific sites on the mRNA

Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein. tRNAs function at specific sites in the ribosome during translation, which is a process that synthesizes a protein from an mRNA molecule. It identifies the codon on the mRNA and calls for the specific amino acid that is coded by the identified codon.

The correct option is 'Transport specific amino acids to specific sites on the mRNA'.
