Question
Why t-RNA is called as adapter molecule?
✓

Answer

t-RNA can read the codon on m-RNA. It also can bind with the amino acid at 3’ end and transport it to m-RNA-ribosome complex during translation. It can bind with specific codon which is complementary to its anticodon. So t-RNA is considered as an adapter molecule.
