After characterizing allthe different types of tRNAs, biologists encountered a paradox. According tothe genetic code (Chapter 16), the 20 most common amino acids found in proteinsare specified by 61 different mRNA codons. Instead of containing 61 differenttRNAs with 61 different anticodons, though, most cells contain only about40. How can all 61 codons be translated with only two-thirds that number oftRNAs?”
