A Correct answer
Explanation

tRNA (transfer RNA) molecules serve as adaptor molecules that carry specific amino acids to the ribosome. Each tRNA recognizes a specific codon on the mRNA through its anticodon sequence, ensuring the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain in the order specified by the mRNA.
