During which process does tRNA transfer amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain?
A
Transcription
B
Splicing
C
Translation
D
Replication
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the main processes involved in gene expression and protein synthesis: Transcription, Splicing, Translation, and Replication.
Understand that Transcription is the process where DNA is copied into mRNA, and Splicing is the modification of the mRNA transcript by removing introns.
Recall that Replication is the process of copying DNA to produce two identical DNA molecules.
Recognize that Translation is the process where the mRNA sequence is decoded to build a polypeptide chain, with tRNA molecules bringing amino acids to the ribosome.
Conclude that during Translation, tRNA transfers amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain by matching its anticodon with the codon on the mRNA.
