Question

What is the primary source of transfer RNA (tRNA) in protein synthesis?
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The primary source of transfer RNA (tRNA) in protein synthesis is the tRNA genes in the genome of the organism. These genes are transcribed into precursor tRNA molecules, which are then processed to form the mature tRNA. Each tRNA molecule is specific to an amino acid and contains an anticodon that pairs with the corresponding codon on the messenger RNA (mRNA) during translation. The tRNA brings the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.
