Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Whose job is it to bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosome during translation?
A
rRNA
B
mRNA
C
tRNA
D
DNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each tRNA molecule has two distinct ends, one of which binds to a specific amino acid, and the other which binds to the corresponding mRNA codon. During translation, these tRNAs carry amino acids to the ribosome and join with their complementary codons.

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

Detailed explanation-4: -Transfer RNA (tRNA) is found in the cytoplasm and has a complex shape. It is responsible for carrying amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosome surface, ready to make a protein as instructed by the mRNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are adaptor molecules that translate genetic information into protein sequence by delivering amino acids to the protein synthesis machinery during translation.
