Here's how it works:
* mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosomes, where protein synthesis takes place.
* tRNA acts as a translator, bringing the correct amino acid to the ribosome based on the codon (a sequence of three bases) on the mRNA.
* Each tRNA molecule has a specific anticodon that complements the codon on the mRNA.
* The tRNA also carries the corresponding amino acid, which is added to the growing polypeptide chain.
So, tRNA essentially acts as a bridge between the genetic code in mRNA and the amino acids that make up proteins.
