Best Answer

Transfer RNA, usually called tRNA, is responsible for carrying the amino acid to the ribosome, where it is added to the polypeptide (protein) chain that is being synthesised.

Each tRNA carries a specific amino acid, and has a segment called an anticodon - which lines up with the codon of the mRNA so that the correct amino acid is added.
