The correct answer is:
A. tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosomes and helps form proteins.
tRNA (transfer RNA) plays a crucial role in the translation process of protein synthesis by transporting specific amino acids to the ribosomes, where proteins are assembled based on the sequence of mRNA (messenger RNA). Each tRNA molecule has an anticodon that is complementary to the mRNA codon, ensuring that the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.
