Question

For a codon 5' GCA 3', taking into consideration of the wobble base pairs, how many possible anticodons can recognize this codon sequence? Write down the anticodon sequences with 5' and 3' ends and explain your work. Phenylalanine 3' 5' AAG Third base of mRNA codon: A U G C Base in anticodon can be: U, I, xm5s2U, xm5Um, Um, xm5U, xo5U, k2C A, G, U, I, xo5U C, A, U, xo5U G, A, I Wobble position UUU 5' 3' (a) Location of wobble position (b) Revised wobble rules

Step 1

**Step 2:** The corresponding anticodon for this codon is 3' CGU 5'. **Step 3:** According to the wobble hypothesis, the anticodon can have variations at the wobble position. The wobble position for the third base of the codon (A) can pair with U, C, A, G, or Show more…
