Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
[c] tRNA (or transfer RNA) is a single stranded RNA molecule which brings amino acid and reads the genetic code in the process of transcription.
It helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein.
It functions at specific sites in the ribosome during translation, which is a process that synthesizes a protein from a mRNA molecule.
