D
tRNA
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of translation, which is the synthesis of proteins from mRNA templates in the ribosome.
Recall that during translation, the ribosome reads the mRNA codon sequence, which consists of sets of three nucleotides.
Identify the molecule that matches each mRNA codon with the correct amino acid; this molecule must recognize the codon and carry the corresponding amino acid.
Know that transfer RNA (tRNA) has an anticodon region that pairs with the mRNA codon and an attached specific amino acid, thus bringing the correct amino acid to the ribosome.
Conclude that tRNA is the molecule responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome according to the codon sequence of mRNA.
