DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The type of RNA that carries amino acids is
A
mRNA
B
tRNA
C
rRNA
D
DNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -tRNA : Transfer RNAs carry the amino acids required for protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -tRNAs (transfer RNAs) carry amino acids to the ribosome. They act as “bridges, ” matching a codon in an mRNA with the amino acid it codes for.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
