codons on the tRNA molecule match up with anticodons on the mRNA molecule. Each tRNA molecule has an amino acid which it carries to the mRNA. The amino acid that is on the tRNA depends on the type that it is. On the mRNA strand, the next tRNA molecule lines up on the mRNA, and attaches its AA to the first one's AA. The first tRNA molecule breaks away from the mRNA, and this process repeats until you have a long strand of AA's, which is a protein.

A tRNA molecule is the mediator between the mRNA and amino acids, the building blocks of protein synthesis.

A tRNA molecule has an antisense codon on it that matches up with the sense codon on an mRNA molecule. The antisense codon on the tRNA molecule is complimentary to the codon on the mRNA. tRNAs have different anitsense codons and carry the amino acid coresponding to whatever particular codon to which it matches.

The tRNA moves and holds the amino acid into an enzyme complex at the site of protein synthesis at which point the amino acid detaches from the tRNA and attaches to the growing protein chain.
