    Q1. Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules pick up specific amino acids in the cytoplasm. What is the characteristic length of these RNA chains?

    • A) 75 to 90 nucleotides
    • B) 100 to 200 nucleotides
    • C) 1000 to 2000 nucleotides
    • D) 40 to 60 nucleotides

    Answer: 75 to 90 nucleotides

    Explanation: Transfer RNA is a small molecule containing 75 to 90 nucleotides, unlike mRNA which varies significantly in length based on genes.
