The job of tRNA is to

• carry amino acids to the ribisomes
• carry ribisomes to the ER
• carry glucose to mitochondria
• carry mRNA out of the nucleus

The codon is located on the 

• DNA
• mRNA
• tRNA
• rRNA

In mRNA, each codon specifies a particular 

• nucleotide
• amino acid
• purine
• pyrimidine
