Solution

The correct answer is (Choice A) tRNAs are used to add amino acids to a growing polypeptide chain. This process is known as translation, which is the step 3 in the flow of genetic information from DNA to protein. During this step, the mRNA is read by the ribosome and the tRNA brings the corresponding amino acid to add to the growing polypeptide chain.
