Which statement best describes the primary function of transfer RNA (tRNA) during translation?

• A. It carries specific amino acids to the ribosome and uses its anticodon to base-pair with mRNA codons to ensure correct amino acid incorporation into the growing polypeptide.
• B. It forms the main structural and catalytic core of the ribosome that creates peptide bonds between amino acids.
• C. It catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds to synthesize RNA from a DNA template during transcription.
• D. It stores genetic information and serves as the template that determines the amino acid sequence of a protein.

Answer: (A)
