Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

tRNA plays a role in which of the following?

A	picking up the amino acid specified by the anticodon
B	recognizing the appropriate codons in mRNA
C	translating codons into amino acids
D	all of these are correct

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Transfer RNA (abbreviated tRNA) is a small RNA molecule that plays a key role in protein synthesis. Transfer RNA serves as a link (or adaptor) between the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule and the growing chain of amino acids that make up a protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -What are the three functions of the tRNA molecule? The tRNA molecule carries an amino acid, associates with mRNA molecules, and binds to one of three sites on the large subunit of a ribosome.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are adaptor molecules that translate genetic information into protein sequence by delivering amino acids to the protein synthesis machinery during translation.
