Detailed explanation-1: -tRNAs (transfer RNAs) carry amino acids to the ribosome.
Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: Amino acid sequence is determined by the sequence of codons on mRNA. tRNA is responsible for bringing new amino acids to the ribosome. Interactions between the codons on mRNA and the anticodons on tRNA are what allow the formation of the appropriate peptide bonds.
Detailed explanation-3: -During the process of translation, tRNA is charged with its cognate amino acid and delivers it to the ribosome, thus serving as a substrate of protein synthesis. To analyze the charging state of a particular tRNA, total RNA is purified and analyzed on an acid-urea gel.
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.
