The genetic code is unambiguous. Although many amino acids have more than one codon (degenerate), each codon specifies only one amino acid (unambiguous). There is also the wobble theory which states that the anti-codon tRNA can recognize more than one codon due to the less-precise base pairs that can arise between the 3rd base of the codon and the base at the 1st position on the anticodon. Here are examples of codons. Valine GUU GUC GUA GUG Leucine UUA UUG CUU CUC CUA Start AUG Given the above information which of the following statements most precisely describes the relationship between codons and amino acids. In your own words, state why you chose one answer and rejected the other four. a) The third base of the codon can wobble. b) The second base of the codon can wobble. c) The first base of the codon can wobble. d) The genetic code is unambiguous. e) The genetic code is degenerate.
