Which of the following is an accurate description of tRNA?
1- | The type of RNA that is translated to produce a peptide or protein. |
2- | The type of RNA that interacts with mRNA and has an amino acid covalently attached. |
3- | None of the other choices is correct. |
4- | The type of RNA that forms part of the protein-synthesizing machinery (i.e. the ribosome) of the cell. |
5- The type of RNA that silences gene expression. |
tRNA is the type of RNA that interacts with mRNA and has an amino acid covalently attached.
tRNA- transfer ribonucleic acid, mRNA- messenger ribonucleic acid.
tRNAs are small RNA molecules which contain 75 to 95 nucleotides.
tRNA is a type of RNA which helps decode a mRNA sequence into a protein. tRNA bonds to activated amino acids and transfers them to the ribosomes.
