Question

question 14
identify the function of transfer rna (trna).
carries information from the nucleus to the ribosome
synthesize mrna in the nucleus
carries amino acids from the cytoplasm to ribosomes to form a polypeptide chain
form ribosomes with protein

Explanation:

tRNA is responsible for transporting amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes. At the ribosomes, these amino acids are assembled into a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis.

• The first option is the function of mRNA (messenger RNA), not tRNA.
• The second option is incorrect as tRNA does not synthesize mRNA. mRNA is synthesized from DNA in the nucleus through transcription.
• The fourth option is the function of rRNA (ribosomal RNA) which combines with proteins to form ribosomes.

Answer:

carries amino acids from the cytoplasm to ribosomes to form a polypeptide chain
