Question
what type of rna serves as an adaptor that carries specific amino acids to the translation site?
rrna
trna
Brief Explanations
In protein synthesis, tRNA (transfer RNA) functions as an adaptor molecule. It carries specific amino acids to the ribosome (the translation site) and has an anticodon that pairs with the codon on mRNA. rRNA (ribosomal RNA) is part of the ribosome structure, not the adaptor for amino acids. So the correct option is tRNA.
