question 3 of 25
what is the role of trna during translation?
a. it moves the amino acids into a chain.
b. it provides the code for the protein.
c. it translates from amino acids to nucleic acids.
d. it moves the codons into a chain.

Explanation:

During translation, tRNA (transfer RNA) has an anticodon that pairs with a codon on mRNA. It carries specific amino acids. As translation progresses, tRNA moves these amino acids into a chain (polypeptide chain) according to the mRNA sequence. Option B is incorrect as mRNA provides the code for the protein. Option C is wrong because translation is from nucleic acids (mRNA) to amino acids. Option D is incorrect as codons are on mRNA and tRNA moves amino - acids, not codons.

Answer:

A. It moves the amino acids into a chain.
