Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

tRNA (transfer RNA) is the RNA responsible for bringing the amino acids to the ribosome for protein formation. It binds to a specific amino acid and carries it to the ribosome where it matches up with the mRNA (messenger RNA) code. rRNA (ribosomal RNA) is a type of RNA that makes up the ribosome structure, and mRNA is the RNA that carries the genetic instructions from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis. ssRNA (single-stranded RNA) just refers to RNA that is composed of a single strand of nucleotides, and does not specify any functional role.
