The primary function of tRNA (transfer RNA) is to **bring an amino acid to the ribosome** during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule has a specific amino acid attached and an anticodon that recognizes and pairs with a corresponding codon on the mRNA strand, facilitating the assembly of amino acids into a protein.
