Question

What is the role of transfer RNA in protein synthesis?

Select all that apply.


It carries the DNA's code to the ribosomes.

It reads and copies a segment of DNA in the nucleus.


It translates the genetic code to determine how the amino acids will link together.


It brings amino acids to the ribosome.

Answer 1

It translates the genetic code to determine how the amino acids will link together.

It brings amino acids to the ribosome.

Explanation: The tRNA contains the anticodon which reads the codon sequence on the mRNA. If they match the tRNA connects via a hydrogen bond and the amino acid it is carrying is added to the protein chain being made. This process happens in the translation part of Central Dogma.
