What is signaled to bring a specific amino acid that correlates to the specific codon during translation?

DNA polymerase
mRNA
rRNA
tRNA

The correct answer is: DNA polymerase

DNA polymerase aids in the process of DNA replication, not translation. mRNA carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosome during translation. rRNA is a component of the ribosome and helps with protein synthesis, but it is not responsible for bringing specific amino acids. tRNA, or transfer RNA, is the correct answer because it carries a specific amino acid and binds to the corresponding codon on the mRNA during translation. This allows for the proper amino acid sequence to be formed and a protein to be synthesized. Therefore, tRNA is the molecule signaled to bring a specific amino acid during translation.
