Which is true of codon wobble?
I. It occurs at codon position 2
II. It can lead to incorrect reading frame
III. It speeds protein synthesis
IV. It can result in weaker H bonding between codon and anticodon

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Codon wobble refers to the flexibility in base-pairing rules at the third position of the codon, allowing for a single tRNA to recognize multiple codons. This does not lead to an incorrect reading frame but can result in weaker hydrogen bonding due to less strict base pairing requirements, potentially speeding up protein synthesis by allowing for more efficient tRNA matching with codons.
