In the process of translation, which of the following is the primary role of transfer RNA (tRNA)?

A.A) To synthesize amino acids

B.B) To translate RNA into protein

C.D) To repair damaged DNA

D.C) To carry amino acids to the ribosome

Explanation

Core Concept

The primary role of transfer RNA (tRNA) in the process of translation is to carry amino acids to the ribosome. tRNA molecules carry specific amino acids to the ribosome, where they are incorporated into the growing protein chain. The other options are incorrect: tRNA is involved in translation, not amino acid synthesis or repair of damaged DNA.
