Amino acids are carried to the ribosomes to be incorporated into polypeptide chains by which molecule?
A) snRNA
B) DNA
C) rRNA
D) tRNA
E) mRNA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

tRNA (transfer RNA) carries the amino acids to the ribosomes and matches them with the correct codons (three-nucleotide sequences) on the mRNA (messenger RNA) during translation to assemble the polypeptide chains. snRNA (small nuclear RNA) is involved in RNA splicing, rRNA (ribosomal RNA) is a component of the ribosome itself, and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material that contains the instructions for making proteins.
