Question

Why is it essential that tRNA binds to both an amino acid and an mRNA codon during protein synthesis?

✓

Answer

tRNA is an adaptor molecule, which is meant for transferring amino acids to ribosomes for synthesis of polypeptides, tRNAs carry specific amino acids at particular points during polypeptide synthesis as per codons of mRNA, and the codons are recognised by anticodons of tRNAs. Thus, the coded information from DNA is translated by bringing amino acids in a particular sequence.
