Some transfer RNA species are able to make use of two or more different codons because
A) they are able to carry two or more different amino acids.
B) some codon?anticodon interactions are limited to only two base pairs.
C) they can make use of a wobble base to base pair with different codons.
D) inosine is a common nucleoside in messenger RNA.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phenomenon called wobble base pairing allows some tRNA molecules to recognize more than one codon. The third nucleotide in the codon (the "wobble" position) can sometimes pair with multiple different nucleotides at the first position in the anticodon of the tRNA. This flexibility allows the cell to use fewer tRNA molecules to decode multiple codons that differ by only one nucleotide at the third position.
