Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the function of transfer RNA (tRNA) during protein synthesis?
Correct Answer: tRNA amino acids ko ribosome tak le jaata hai aur unhe mRNA codons se match karta hai.
  • 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 special 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 with a 'codon' on the mRNA.
  • Step 6: Realize that when the tRNA's anticodon pairs with the mRNA's codon, it ensures the correct amino acid is added to the growing protein chain.
  • Step 7: Conclude that tRNA plays a crucial role in translating the genetic code from mRNA into a sequence of amino acids to form proteins.
