mRNA

  • The messenger RNA serves as a template for the transcription process.
  • mRNA is a linear molecule.
  • Gets attached to the ribosome only.

tRNA 

  • The transfer RNA serves as an adaptor molecule carrying a particular amino acid to the mRNA to synthesize polypeptide.
  • Resembles a clover shaped leaf.
  • Gets attached at one end to the ribosome and at the other end to an amino acid.
