Explanation / Answer

Structural RNA that links an amino acid to an anticodon during protein synthesis is tRNA. It has sites for amino acid attachment and an anticodon region for codon recognition that binds to a specific sequence on the mRNA. The molecule that contains information to be translated as codons is mRNA. The mRNA is exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it is bound to ribosomes and translated into its corresponding protein form with the help of tRNA. The molecule that forms the part of the enzyme that drives translation is ribosomal RNA. It is the catalytic component of the ribosomes. Ribosomal RNA and protein combine to form a nucleoprotein called a ribosome. The ribosome binds mRNA and carries out protein synthesis.
