The tRNA carries the amino acid on it into the ribosome where the amino acid is transferred on to a growing protein chain. If the wrong amino acid is on the tRNA, and the ribosome accepts the tRNA with the error and incorporates the amino acid into the protein at a mRNA codon that matches the tRNA, there will be an error in the protein being synthesized. It may not matter, or it may cause the protein to not be able to carry out its normal function. Conceivably, more than one protein can contain an error depending on what mRNA's are being translated.
