|
|
tRNA carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
|
|
|
tRNA produces a copy of the DNA during transcription.
|
|
|
tRNA gives the signal to start the process of translation.
|
|
|
tRNA carries amino acids coded by the mRNA to the ribosomes.

Detailed explanation-1: -The overall role of tRNA in protein synthesis is to decode a specific codon of mRNA, using its anticodon, in order to transfer a specific amino acid to the end of a chain in the ribosome.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The tRNA (transport RNA) carries the amino acid to the rRNA. The rRNA (ribosomal RNA) makes up the ribosome. The ribosome builds the protein according to the instructions written in the mRNA with the amino acids ferried in by the tRNA.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which statement best describes the function of tRNA in translation? tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome.
