what is the function of tRNA

OpenStudy (carolina4567):

Transfer RNA is abreviated (tRNA). Its main purpose is to transfer specific amino acids to growing polypeptide chain during the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during what you call translation. Another thing is that with each type of tRNA molecule it can only be attached by one amino acid, but because genetic code has various codons that show the same amino acid tRNA molecules hold different anticodons that may or may not hold the same amino acids. Hope this helps.
