What is the primary role of transer RNA (tRNA) in protein synthesis?

Question

A: Carrying amino acids to the ribosome

B: Transcribing DNA into mRNA

C: Catalyzing the formation of peptide bonds

D: Breaking down proteins into amino acids

Answer 1

The primary role of transfer RNA (tRNA) in protein synthesis is:

A: Carrying amino acids to the ribosome

tRNA molecules transport specific amino acids to the ribosome, where they are assembled into proteins in accordance with the sequence of codons in the messenger RNA (mRNA).
