15. What are the small RNAs that grab an amino acid to be joined together? tRNA

The Transfer RNAs are precoded with their anticodons for a specific amino acid. These anticodons match as a complimentary code to the codons of the messenger RNA.

Once the amino acids are brought together a chemical bond forms between the amino acids known as a peptide linkage eventually forming a protein.
