Transfer RNA conveys each amino acid to the peptide chain during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid, and bears a given anticodon to match the codon on messenger RNA. Transfer RNAs have a distinct hair loop structure.

The type of RNA that copies DNA is known as the messenger RNA or mRNA. There are other types of RNA these include the transfer RNA (tRNA), and the ribosomal (rRNA).
transfer RNA (tRNA).
The DNA molecule in the nucleus makes a copy of itself using RNA, this is Messenger RNA. The Messenger RNA travel to a Ribosome. There is Transfer RNA floating about the cytoplasm. This is short (only three base pairs long) pieces of RNA that have their own unique amino acid attached to them. The Transfer RNA links up with the Messenger RNA according to their mutually compatible base pairs. The amino acids that the Transfer RNA is carrying link up with each other and detach from the Transfer RNA this is the beginning of a protein chain.
The main types of RNA include messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). mRNA carries genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes for protein synthesis. tRNA helps in translating the genetic information carried by mRNA into proteins. rRNA is a crucial component of ribosomes where protein synthesis occurs.

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is the type of RNA that brings the amino acid to the messenger RNA strand during protein synthesis. Each tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid and has an anticodon that base pairs with the corresponding codon on the mRNA.

The RNA that is in the shape of a cloverleaf is transfer RNA (tRNA), while the RNA that is in the shape of a hairpin is messenger RNA (mRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). These structures are important for the function and stability of these RNA molecules in cells.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) plays a crucial role in protein synthesis by carrying specific amino acids to the ribosome based on the codons present on the messenger RNA.
