Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is a type of RNA that carries each amino acid to a ribosome during protein synthesis
A
tRNA
B
RNA
C
rRNA
D
mRNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a small type of stable RNA that carries an amino acid to the corresponding site of protein synthesis in the ribosome. It is the base pairing between the tRNA and mRNA that allows for the correct amino acid to be inserted in the polypeptide chain being synthesized.

Detailed explanation-2: -The RNA molecule that carries amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis is called a transfer RNA or tRNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -transfer RNA (tRNA) – a type of RNA that is folded into a three-dimensional structure. tRNA carries and transfers an amino acid to the polypeptide chain being assembled during translation.

Detailed explanation-4: -tRNA carries the amino acids from the amino acid pool to mRNA during protein synthesis.
