transfer-RNA (tRNA) matches RNA anti-codons with amino acids, so if tRNA were not functioning properly the mRNA sequences could not be translated into a sequence of amino acids.

tRNA is converted to mRNA before protein (amino acid) synthesis. If the tRNA is not functioning properly, this conversion and synthesis will fail or produce erratic and undesirable amino acids.
