tRNA is used to carry the 20 different amino acids dissolved in the cytoplasm to the ribosomes to help build the polypeptide chain for proteins to be synthesized. Each tRNA molecule attaches to one type of amino acid.

∙ 11y agoTransfer RNA (tRNA) is the key to deciphering the code words in mRNA. Each type of amino acid has its own type of tRNA, which binds it and carries it to the growing end of a polypeptide chain if the next code word (codon) on mRNA calls for it. The correct tRNA with its attached amino acid is selected at each step because each specific tRNA molecule contains a three-base sequence(anti-codon) that can base-pair with its complementary code word in the mRNA.

What statement best describes the function of tRNA in translation?
tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome.
Does tRNA have anti-codons?
"The mechanism in which a release factor recognizes a stop codon is still unknown." Since anticodons are normally on the complementary tRNA. (The tRNA is what 'reads' the codons on the mRNA and ferries in the corresponding amino acid.) During translation stop codons are recognized by "release factors" that bind to the A-site on the ribosomes during translation.
How are amino acids transfered to the ribosome into a growing polypeptide chain?
The ribosome uses tRNA that matches the current codon (triplet) on the mRNA to append an amino acid to the polypeptide chain. This is done for each triplet on the mRNA, while the ribosome moves towards the 3' end of the mRNA.
What is the role of tRNA in the building of proteins?
It brings amino acids to the ribosomes. (transfering)
The process of translation occurs in the?
Translation occurs in the ribosomes. Once mRNA has been synthesized, it is sent to the ribosomes, where it is translated to make proteins.
What is the role Trna During translation?
Translation.
Describr the role of tRNA in translation?
it moves the amino acids into chain
What process is tRNA involved in?
Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) has a central role in protein translation, whereby new proteins are assembled according to the genetic code of an organism.
What statement best describes the function of tRNA in translation?
tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome.
Where does initiation of translation occur?
An initiation complex for translation forms by the assembly of the ribosomal subunits and initiator tRNA (met-tRNA) at the start codon on the mRNA.
Does tRNA transfer amino acid during translation or transcription?
tRNA transfers amino acids during tranlation while mRNA is synthesized during transcription. tRNA Transfers Amino Acids during Translation
Where trna is found?
The tRNA molecules are found mainly in the cytoplasm. When the translation begins, the tRNA moves to the ribosometo supply it with the anticodon and the amino acid.
What is the protein synthesis of tRNA?
tRNA production takes place in the nucleolus. It is a ribosome that aids in protein translation.
What type of RNA is involved in translation?
ribosomal RNA and transfer RNA
In which step of translation does the tRNA become charged?
activation
What is the role of tRNA during translation apex?
It moves the amino acids into a chain.--APEX
What does translation also include?
The actions of ribosomal rRNA and tRNA.
