Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecule that brings the proper amino acid into place at the ribosome for the elongation of a new protein is called transfer RNA (tRNA). tRNA contains a specific sequence of nucleotides that matches a complementary codon on the mRNA, as well as an anticodon that corresponds to a specific amino acid. tRNA delivers the amino acid to the growing polypeptide chain on the ribosome, ensuring that the correct sequence of amino acids is incorporated into the protein.
