Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of different types of RNA in the cell. Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.
Recognize that transfer RNA (tRNA) is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. It matches the mRNA codon with the correct amino acid.
Identify that small nuclear RNA (snRNA) is involved in the splicing of pre-mRNA, a process that removes introns from a transcribed pre-mRNA segment.
Acknowledge that ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of ribosomes, which are the sites of protein synthesis in the cell.
Conclude that the type of RNA responsible for transferring amino acids to the ribosome, and thus a type of tRNA, is Transfer RNA.
