question 17
the importance of trna is that it
○ reads the dna molecule.
○ is important in the construction of ribosomes.
○ carries a specific amino acid to the mrna.
○ contains codons that specify amino acids.
tRNA (transfer RNA) has a crucial role in protein synthesis. During translation, it recognizes the codons on mRNA (messenger RNA) through its anticodon and brings the corresponding amino acid to the ribosome for polypeptide chain formation. DNA is read by RNA polymerase (not tRNA) during transcription. Ribosomes are constructed from rRNA (ribosomal RNA) and proteins. mRNA contains codons that specify amino acids, not tRNA (tRNA has anticodons).
