How does a tRNA molecule know which amino acid to carry? (Hint- what does the tRNA have on it to “identify” different amino acids?)

OpenStudy (seaturtle113):

A tRNA doesn't actually determine what amino acid it will carry to the mRNA. Each tRNA contains a specific type of amino acid, so it's really whatever that particular tRNA is carrying that is delivered to the mRNA.
