Best Answer

The wobble hypothesis concerns the codons in mRNA and anticodons in tRNA. The initial two tRNA bases behave in a restricted manner, only binding with complementary mRNA bases (A-U and G-C). The third tRNA base can behave in a different manner (the "wobble" effect) and bind in an unlimited manner to any base on the third position of the mRNA codon. As a result, the amino acids created by the ribosomes by the triplet pairing in translation may vary more dramatically in these instances and, in turn, the amino acids produced may have more variation.

What is the propose of tRNA?

The purpose of tRNA is to provide with the anticodon and amino acids in protein synthesis.


What are the differences between codon anticodon?

Codons are three bases on mRNA which go to the ribosome which translates into amino acids. The amino acids are attached to tRNA which has the anticodon on it which will bind to the codon on the mRNA. This is how the ribosome picks out the correct amino acid. the tRNA with the anti codon just binds to the codon and the amino acids start binding together via peptide bonds.


How many amino acids can be from the gene tacccgtaaggcaaact?

TAC-CCG-TAA-GGC-AAA-CT Five amino acids, and that CT on the end would make six with wobble. Google wobble in transfer RNA/ribosome site match-up.


Which kind of RNA has an anticodon region and carries the amino acids to the ribosome?

it's tRNA or transfer RNA.


Which type of RNA has amino acids covalently attached?

tRNA - Transfer RNA tRNA binds amino acids through a two step "charging" reaction and brings those amino acids to the ribosome. The reaction is catalysed by the enzyme aminoacyl transferase. There are many different tRNA molecules, at least one for each amino acid, but not necessarily one for every triplet codon. The triplet codons are groups of three RNA bases on mRNA that code for a specific amino acid in a protein, and are matched to the complementary anticodon in tRNA. Through "wobble" it is possible for one tRNA molecule with a single anticodon to bind two triplet codons on mRNA, with a single non Watson-Crick base pair (usually the third base). Without this "wobble", there would have to be 61 different tRNA molecules (there are 64 possible triplet codons, but three of then signal termination and are not recognised by tRNA). With the "wobble", there could be as few as 20, one for each amino acid.


Each tRNA molecule contains three bases called?

Each tRNA molecule contains three bases called an anticodon. The tRNA anticodons are complementary to specific mRNA codons. This is how the amino acids are placed in the proper order on the ribosome.


How does an anticodon compare to a codon?

The anticodon is a sequence of three unpaired nucleotides in transfer RNA, which can bind through base pairing, to the complementary triplet of nucleotides, or codon in a messenger RNA molecule. The codon makes up the genetic code, the anticodon makes the amino acid.


What brings amino acids into ribosome to be Assembled into protein?

tRNA brings amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosome to be assembled into a protein. The tRNA anticodon pairs with its complimentary mRNA codon in order to place the amino acid in the correct sequence.


What carries amino acids to ribosomes where amino acids are linked into the primary structure of a polypetide?

specific t-RNA carries its specific amino acids to ribosomes which is attached to m-RNA.m-RAN have codons to which t-RNA with complimentary anticodon attaches and primary structure of polypeptides synthesized.


During the making of protein amino acids are brought to the ribosomes by what?

tRNA brings amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosome to be assembled into a protein. The tRNA anticodon pairs with its complimentary mRNA codon in order to place the amino acid in the correct sequence.


What is a anticodon how does it function?

An anticodon is the base of a tRNA. a tRNA transfer the information from the mRNA to the amino acid to form a protein. The anticodon on the tRNA helps it to bind to codons on the mRNA through complementary base pairing to as to make the correct proteins.
