Question

question 1 of 6
during the process of translation, what is the primary function of a transfer rna (trna) molecule?
to carry the genetic instructions from the dna in the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
to bind to a specific amino acid and deliver it to the ribosome for polypeptide synthesis.
to catalyze the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids.

Explanation:

Transfer RNA (tRNA) has an anticodon that pairs with a codon on messenger RNA (mRNA) at the ribosome. It binds to a specific amino - acid and transports it to the ribosome for the synthesis of polypeptides during translation. The first option describes the function of messenger RNA (mRNA), and the third option describes the function of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in part.

Answer:

To bind to a specific amino acid and deliver it to the ribosome for polypeptide synthesis.
