What is the main function of transfer RNAs (tRNAs) mentioned in the text?
Reading the genetic code
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of transfer RNAs (tRNAs) as described in the text?
Transcribes DNA into RNA
In the context of genetic code reading, what distinguishes transfer RNAs (tRNAs) from other RNA molecules?
Binding to specific codons on mRNA
What role does the anticodon sequence on tRNA play in recognizing codons in mRNA?
Enables it to recognize codons through base-pairing
How does tRNA differ from mRNA in terms of its interaction with genetic information?
mRNA reads codons, while tRNA reads anticodons
