RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis
Real World Example
Imagine you're hosting a potluck dinner, and everyone is responsible for bringing a specific dish to the party. In a similar way, transfer RNA (tRNA) acts as the delivery person, bringing specific amino acids to the ribosomes, where proteins are assembled. Just as each guest ensures the meal is complete by delivering their dish to the dinner table, tRNA ensures the protein is correctly built by delivering the right amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis.
