The wobble pairing rule states that a 'U' in teh anticodon wobble position can pair with 'A' or 'G', whereas a 'C' in the wobble position of the anticodon can only pair with 'G'. what is the anticodon found on the Methionine tRNA?
The genetic code is thought to have evolved to maximize genetic stability by minimizing the effect on protein function of most substitution mutations (single-base changes). We will use the six arginine codons to test this idea. Consider all of the substitutions that could affect all of the six arginine codons.(a) How many total mutations are possible?(b) How many of these mutations are “silent,” in the sense that the mutantcodon is changed to another Arg codon?(c) How many of these mutations are conservative, in the sense that an Argcodon is changed to a functionally similar Lys codon?
