Transfer RNA interprets genetic materal between nucleic acide and protein language by picking up specific amino acids and recognizing the appropriate codons in the mRNA*.

tRNA mediates recognition of the codon and provides the corresponding amino acid. It mainly is recognized for carrying amino acids. It then gives to it mRNA to translate the nucleotides proteins.

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a small RNA chain of about 80 nucleotides that transfers a specific amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during translation.

Transfer RNA contains the anticodon which binds to the Messenger RNA's codon inside the ribosome which is made of Ribosomal RNA. TRNA helps produce amino acid sequences (proteins).
