mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes : The sequence of codons on mRNA determines the order in which amino acids are added to the growing polypeptide chain during translation.

tRNA carries specific amino acids to the ribosomes tRNA molecules bind to specific codons on the mRNA through complementary base pairing Ensuring the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain.
