Which RNA molecule carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis?
A
snRNA (small nuclear RNA)
B
tRNA (transfer RNA)
C
mRNA (messenger RNA)
D
rRNA (ribosomal RNA)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of each type of RNA in protein synthesis: mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, and snRNA.
mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.
rRNA (ribosomal RNA) is a component of ribosomes, which are the sites of protein synthesis.
snRNA (small nuclear RNA) is involved in RNA processing, not directly in protein synthesis.
tRNA (transfer RNA) is responsible for carrying amino acids to the ribosome, matching them to the mRNA sequence during protein synthesis.
