In the process of translation, the specific role of transfer RNA (tRNA) is to

A. Form the structural backbone of the ribosome
B. Provide the template for the sequence of amino acids
C. Act as an adaptor molecule that matches a specific amino acid to its corresponding mRNA codon
✓
D. Catalyze the peptide bond formation between adjacent amino acids

📝 Explanation

tRNA acts as an adaptor, carrying a specific amino acid at its 3' end and recognizing a specific three-nucleotide codon on the mRNA through its complementary anticodon loop. This bridges the genetic code and the amino acid sequence of a protein.

📖 Additional Information

  • Form the structural backbone of the ribosome
  • Provide the template for the sequence of amino acids
  • Act as an adaptor molecule that matches a specific amino acid to its corresponding mRNA codon
