When an enzyme reacts with only selected and limited number of substrates, then this characteristic of the enzyme is referred to as its specificity. The enzymes which are specific, catalyzes only selected few reactions. These enzymes are specific to certain bonds or functional groups. Some enzymes have absolute specificity, which means that they catalyze only one reaction.

Hence, the blank can be filled with 'specificity'.

This indicates a possible problem with the ribosome of the cell. Ribosomes in cells are responsible for translation the genetic codes in mRNA to appropriate proteins with the help of tRNA. mRNA, rRNA, tRNA and ribosome work together during protein synthesis to produce chains of amino acids that are linked together by polypeptide bonds.
