Question

What is the role of tRNA?

(a) It provides the template strand

(b) It brings the amino acids and reads the genetic code

(c) It plays a catalytic role during translation

(d) It plays a structural role during translation

This question was posed to me in an online interview.

The question is from Types of RNA and Process of Transcription in Prokaryotes in portion Molecular Basis of Inheritance of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) It brings the amino acids and reads the genetic code

The explanation is: The role of mRNA is to provide the template strand. The role of tRNA is to bring the amino acids and read the genetic code. rRNA plays the structural and catalytic role during the process of translation.
