Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The function of ____ is to transport amino acids in the cytoplasm to the ribosome.
A
rRNA
B
tRNA
C
mRNA
D
DNA
Explanation: 

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: -Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein. tRNAs function at specific sites in the ribosome during translation, which is a process that synthesizes a protein from an mRNA molecule.

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: -Transfer RNA (tRNA) brings the correct amino acids to the ribosome and adds them to the polypeptide chain.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transfer RNA (tRNA) has a long-established role in protein synthesis. The tRNA molecule serves as an adaptor [1] between the genetic instructions written in nucleic acid sequences and the protein products encoded in genes.
