|
all of the above

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: -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-3: -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.
