DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During translation, this type of ribonucleic acid is responsible for delivering amino acids to help make a protein.
A
mRNA
B
rRNA
C
tRNA
D
dRNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Ribosomal RNA (rRNA): In the cytoplasm, rRNAs and protein components combine to form a nucleoprotein complex called the ribosome which binds mRNA and synthesizes proteins (also called translation).

Detailed explanation-3: -Ribosomes translate information encoded in messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). They link together specific amino acids to form polypeptides and they export these to the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -transfer RNA (tRNA), small molecule in cells that carries amino acids to organelles called ribosomes, where they are linked into proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -tRNA (transfer RNA) is responsible for gathering amino acids in the cytosol and bringing them to the ribosomes when translation is taking place.
