Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

tRNA, or transfer RNA, is specifically designed to carry amino acids to the site of protein synthesis. This is achieved through the binding of the amino acid to one end of the tRNA and the recognition of the appropriate codon on the mRNA at the other end of the tRNA. In this way, tRNA acts as an intermediary between the genetic code of the mRNA and the amino acids that make up proteins.
