Question: What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Options:

  1. To carry genetic information
  2. To synthesize RNA
  3. To bring amino acids to the ribosome
  4. To form the ribosome structure

Correct Answer: To bring amino acids to the ribosome

Solution: 

Transfer RNA (tRNA) functions to bring specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation, matching them to the corresponding codons on the mRNA.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?
  • Step 1: Understand that proteins are made up of building blocks called amino acids.
  • Step 2: Know that the instructions to make proteins are found in a molecule called mRNA (messenger RNA).
  • Step 3: Learn that tRNA (transfer RNA) is a type of RNA that helps in the process of making proteins.
  • Step 4: Recognize that tRNA carries specific amino acids to the ribosome, which is the site of protein synthesis.
  • Step 5: Understand that each tRNA has an 'anticodon' that matches a 'codon' on the mRNA.
  • Step 6: Realize that when the tRNA matches its anticodon to the mRNA codon, it brings the correct amino acid to the ribosome.
  • Step 7: Know that this process continues until the entire protein is made, with tRNA helping to link amino acids together in the right order.
