Explain the wooble concept.. |
| Answer» The\xa0Wobble\xa0hypothesis proposes that normal base pairing can occur between nitrogen bases in positions 1 and 2 of the codon and the corresponding bases (3 and 2) in the anticodon. Actually, the base 1 in anticodon can form non-Watson-Crick base pairing with the third position of the codon.\xa0The\xa0wobble effect\xa0is an\xa0effect\xa0caused by the redundancy found in the genetic code. Each amino acid is coded for by a 3 nucleotide sequence on the mRNA. ... Thus, each amino acid can be coded for by more than one codon. For any amino acid, the first 2 nucleotides in the codon are always identical. | |
