Wobble Hypothesis Flashcards
1
Q
The flexibility of base-pairing rules seen at the 3rd position of the codon, gave rise to which hypothesis?
A
The Wobble hypothesis.
2
Q
The relaxed base-pairing allows anticodon of a single tRNA to pair with _
A
More than one triplet in mRNA.
3
Q
U at the first position ( the 5’ end) of the tRNA anticodon may pair with A or G, at which position of the mRNA codon? Where G may pair with U or C
A
The third position (the 3’ end)
4
Q
As a result of the wobble hypothesis, how many different tRNA species are necessary to accommodate 61 codons specifying an amino acid?
A
30
