Although there are 61 codons in the universal genetic code that specify amino acids, most organisms possess fewer than 45 different trnas. some trnas can be used to read different codons due to flexibility in the base pairing of the mrna codon and the anticodon. these "wobble" base pairs allow for non watson crick hydrogen bonding, and therefore allow a single trna to read multiple codons.

which of the following best describes the structural basis of the wobble hypothesis? (2 is incorrect)

1. the pairing of the third (3') base of the mrna codon and the third (3') base of the trna anticodon are less constrained by base stacking.
2. the pairing of the first (5') base of the mrna codon and the third (3') base of the trna anticodon are less constrained by base stacking.
3.the pairing of the first (5') base of the mrna codon and the first (5') base of the trna anticodon are less constrained by base stacking.
4. the pairing of the third (3') base of the mrna codon and the first (5') base of the trna anticodon are less constrained by base stacking.

Which statements describe resources? one of the factors people use when deciding where they will live is the availability of resources. renewable resources have little value for people. resources are unevenly distributed throughout the world. energy is the world resource which has the highest use. the use of nonrenewable resources has decreased in recent history. the use of resources is evenly distributed throughout the world. the world's oil supply will last for the next forty years if its use continues as expected.

What best explains whether bromine (br) or neon (ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons. neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron. neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.
