Question
Chapter 31, Problem 38P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The purpose of the large size of tRNA should be determined.
Concept introduction:
ThetRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) is a type of RNA, which decodes mRNA into a protein sequence. During the process of translation, tRNAs bind to specific sites on the ribosome. For each codon on mRNA, there is an anticodon on tRNA. Binding of these two RNAs helps in the proper synthesis of proteins.

How many sites? A researcher has isolated a restriction endonuclease that cleaves at only one particular 10-base-pair site. Would this enzyme be useful in protecting cells from viral infections, given that a typical viral genome is 50,000 base pairs long? Explain
An extra piece. In one type of mutation leading to a form of
thalassemia, the mutation of a single base (G to A) generates a new 3'
3' splice site (blue in the illustration below) akin to the normal one
(yellow) but farther upstream.
