Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the function of transfer RNA?
A
It is a part of the ribosome.
B
It bonds to other RNA molecules, leading to their destruction.
C
It delivers the correct amino acid to the ribosome.
D
It carries the information coding for the amino acid sequence of a protein.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

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

Detailed explanation-4: -Each amino acid in a protein is delivered to the ribosome by yet another type of RNA: transfer RNA (tRNA).

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
