What is the role of tRNA in translation?
A.It carries amino acids whose anticodons match mRNA codons
B.It carries DNA into the nucleus
C.It adds the 5′ cap
D.It synthesizes ribosomes
Explanation
Core Concept
Each tRNA bears a specific amino acid and a complementary anticodon, pairing with mRNA codons so the ribosome can assemble the correct sequence.
