Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

tRNA (transfer RNA) reads the genetic code stored in mRNA (messenger RNA). The mRNA carries the genetic code from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where protein synthesis takes place. The tRNA molecules bind to specific codons (three-letter sequences of the mRNA) and bring in the corresponding amino acids to build the protein chain. Therefore, tRNA cannot read the genetic code stored in DNA, ribosomes, or nuclear membrane.
