RNA consisting of folded molecules which transport amino acids from the cytoplasm of a cell to a ribosome.
〔生化〕转移RNA，转移核糖核酸
Example sentencesExamples
For deep levels of divergence, protein coding genes may be saturated at the amino acid level and highly conserved regions of ribosomal RNA and transfer RNA genes may be useful.
Of these, a few are transcribed, including clusters of ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA, and histone genes.
RNA molecules - mainly transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA - also evolve under structural constraints.
This conclusion was reached prior to the discovery of messenger RNA, transfer RNA, or the mechanism of translation.
Translation is performed by the ribosomes using another type of RNA, transfer RNA or tRNA.
