ch 16.4 Transfer Rna
tRNA
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| For each of the 20 major amino acids, there is a diff aminoacyl tRNA synthetase | and one or more tRNA |
| anticodon is | a set of 3 ribonucleotides that forms base pairs with the mRna codon |
| All of the rRNas in a cell have the same L-shaped structure, | but each has a distinct anticodon and attached amino acid. |
| Wobble hypothesis | allows flexeibility in the base pairing, a nonstandard base pair in the 3d position of a codon--such as GU is acceptable as it does noto change the amino acid for which the codon codes |
