tRNA molecules are able to act as adapters between amino acids and mRNA during translation because:
A) tRNA binds to ribosomes.
B) tRNA can bind to both mRNA and an amino acid.
C) tRNA anticodons bind to amino acids.
D) tRNA is recognized by RNA polymerase.
E) tRNA molecules bind to promoter sequences to initiate transcription.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

tRNA molecules serve as adapters in protein synthesis by having an anticodon region that pairs with a complementary codon on mRNA and another site that attaches to a specific amino acid. This dual binding capability allows tRNA to translate the nucleotide sequence of mRNA into a sequence of amino acids.
