Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -During translation, aminoacyl-tRNAs are delivered to the ribosome by specialized GTPases called translation factors.
Detailed explanation-3: -tRNA carries and transfers an amino acid to the polypeptide chain being assembled during translation. translation – the process in which a cell converts genetic information carried in an mRNA molecule into a protein.
Detailed explanation-4: -The initiator tRNA molecule, carrying the methionine amino acid that will serve as the first amino acid of the polypeptide chain, is bound to the P site on the ribosome. The A site is aligned with the next codon, which will be bound by the anticodon of the next incoming tRNA.
