Answer:

It wil swell and burst

Explanation:

One hypothesis for the original function of precursors of charged trna is that
lana66690 [7]

tRNA-precursors were smaller than the modern tRNA and their primary function was to participate in the formation of new structures by joining two or more RNA molecules.
