During the process of translation, amino acids are brought to the ribosome by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules. Each tRNA has an anticodon that pairs with a complementary codon on the messenger RNA (mRNA) and a corresponding amino acid attached to its other end. This ensures that the amino acids are added to the growing polypeptide chain in the correct sequence dictated by the mRNA code.
