Question: What is the role of tRNA in translation?

Options:

  1. To carry amino acids to the ribosome
  2. To synthesize mRNA
  3. To replicate DNA
  4. To form ribosomal subunits

Correct Answer: To carry amino acids to the ribosome

Solution: 

tRNA (transfer RNA) carries specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation, matching them to the codons on the mRNA.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of tRNA in translation?
  • Step 1: Understand that translation is the process where proteins are made from mRNA.
  • Step 2: Know that mRNA is a copy of the genetic information that tells how to build a protein.
  • Step 3: Learn that tRNA (transfer RNA) is a type of RNA that helps in this process.
  • Step 4: Recognize that each tRNA carries a specific amino acid, which is a building block of proteins.
  • Step 5: Understand that tRNA has a part called an anticodon that matches with the codons on the mRNA.
  • Step 6: Realize that when the tRNA matches its anticodon with the mRNA codon, it brings the correct amino acid to the ribosome.
  • Step 7: Know that the ribosome is the place where proteins are assembled, using the amino acids brought by tRNA.
