In the deep layers of the ocean, various distinct kinds of species are found like fangtooth fish and vampire squid, to sea urchins and coffinfish.  

One of the probable adaptation, which is not fully understood in the deep sea is gigantism. This refers to the ability of animals to become highly enormous in size. A well-known illustration is a giant squid, and others, like giant isopod, the kings of herrings selfish, and the colossal squid.  

One of the possible reason of gigantism is the tendency of the species in the deep sea to live for long years, that is, for decades or for even centuries. As food is not abundant in the deep zones, thus deep sea creatures have evolved some interesting mechanisms of feeding.  

In the non-existence of photosynthesis, the majority of food comprises of detritus, that is, the decaying leftovers of algae, microbes, animals, and plants from the upper layers of the ocean. Apart from that, the corpses of large animals, like whales that sink to the bottom give irregular but huge feasts for deep-sea animals.

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.

The adaptor hypothesis is the explanation of how information could be extracted from a nucleic acid into a string of amino acids in a specific sequence. The proposed explanation involved recognition between the adaptor (today tRNA) and the template nucleic acid .
