tRNA molecules carry specific amino acids to the ribosome, matching mRNA codons with their anticodons to form polypeptide chains.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) contains anticodons (three nucleotides) that match mRNA codons and carry specific amino acids to the ribosome to build polypeptide chains.
| Front | tRNA |
|---|---|
| Back | - its anticodons (groups of 3 nucleotides) each carry one amino acid - anticodons attach to mRNA at ribosome and connect amino acids into polypeptides |
