$m-RNA$ $t-RNA$
$(1)$ It carries the genetic information for protein synthesis from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. $(1)$ It binds to specific amino acids and transports them to the ribosome surface.
$(2)$ Numerous $m-RNA$ units are active in the cell at different times based on gene expression. $(2)$ There are $61$ types of $t-RNA$ possible for transporting $20$ types of amino acids (corresponding to $61$ codons).
$(3)$ $m-RNA$ undergoes degradation after completing its function. $(3)$ $t-RNA$ molecules are generally stable and do not undergo degradation easily.
$(4)$ The sequence of nucleotides in $m-RNA$ determines the sequence and position of amino acids in the protein structure. $(4)$ Each $t-RNA$ carries a specific type of amino acid unit.
