Transfer RNA molecules serve as interpreters during translation • In the cytoplasm, a ribosome attaches to the m. RNA and translates its message into a polypeptide • The process is aided by transfer RNAs Amino acid attachment site Hydrogen bond RNA polynucleotide chain Anticodon Figure 10. 11 A Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
