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: -The tRNA structure is that of a string of RNA that is folded into a series of loops. One end has an amino acid attached, shown in blue as the Acceptor stem in the diagram. The opposite end has a group of three nucleotides called the anticodon. The anticodon is what will be matched to the mRNA sequence by the ribosome.
