DNA and RNA Structure

Question 4 • First Semester Biology

Explain the roles of mRNA and tRNA in protein synthesis.

Answer

Answer:

mRNA is transcribed from DNA and carries the genetic instructions to the ribosome. The nucleotides in mRNA are read as codons that code for amino acids. tRNA matches its anticodons to the mRNA codons and brings the correct amino acids so they can be joined to make a protein.
