Small RNA molecules that function as adaptors between amino acids and the codons in mRNA during translation are known as:
A) tRNA
B) mRNA
C) rRNA
D) sRNA
E) pRNA

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The small RNA molecules that function as adaptors between amino acids and the codons in mRNA during translation are known as tRNA (transfer RNA). mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA and rRNA (ribosomal RNA) makes up the ribosome, which is the site of protein synthesis. sRNA (small RNA) and pRNA (piwi-interacting RNA) have other functions in gene regulation and gene silencing.
