Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of tRNA during translation?
Correct Answer: tRNA carries specific amino acids to the ribosome.
  • Step 1: Understand that tRNA stands for transfer RNA.
  • Step 2: Know that tRNA is a type of molecule found in cells.
  • Step 3: Learn that tRNA's main job is to carry amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins.
  • Step 4: Recognize that translation is the process where proteins are made from RNA instructions.
  • Step 5: Realize that during translation, tRNA brings the correct amino acids to the ribosome.
  • Step 6: Understand that the ribosome is the place where proteins are assembled.
  • Step 7: Know that tRNA matches its amino acid to the corresponding code on the RNA.
  • Step 8: Finally, see that the amino acids are linked together to form a polypeptide chain, which becomes a protein.
