What is the primary function of transfer RNA (tRNA) during translation?

• A. It forms the large and small subunits of the ribosome and catalyzes peptide bond formation as the main structural RNA.
• B. It removes introns from pre-mRNA by recognizing splice sites and catalyzing splicing reactions.
• C. It serves as the template that determines the nucleotide sequence of a newly synthesized RNA transcript.
• D. It delivers specific amino acids to the ribosome by pairing its anticodon with the corresponding codon on mRNA.

Answer: (D)
