Both mRNA and tRNA are important in polypeptide synthesis
in the cytoplasm without tRNA, the codons of the mRNA could not be interpreted through attachment of the tRNA anticodon which carries a specific amino acid to allow translation
without the mRNA, the DNA code carried within the gene would not be copied and transferred out of the nucleus to ribosomes during transcription in the nucleus
Therefore, without mRNA and tRNA, a gene that codes for a specific polypeptide could not be expressed.
