Why is tRNA called "transfer" RNA? a It carries/transfers the code for one gene from the DNA to the ribosome. b It carries/transfers a specific amino acid to the ribosome during protein synthesis. c They look like a little truck under the microscope. d It carries/transfers codes for proteins from the cytoplasm to the DNA.

Answer 1

tRNA is called "transfer" RNA because b it carries/transfers a specific amino acid to the ribosome during protein synthesis. tRNA molecules play a crucial role in translating the genetic information encoded in mRNA into a specific sequence of amino acids, thereby facilitating the synthesis of proteins.
