Question

What is the minumum number of tRNA molecules that a cell must contain in order to translate all 61 sense codons?

Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right.

second tRNAs with variations each in the positions would sixty one tRNAs suffice to translate sixteen amino acids. Because of wobble in the position, only variations suffice to translate all twenty amino acids. Therefore, sixteen should be the minimum needed to translate sixty one sense codons. sixteen tRNAs three two thirty two tRNAs third four first and third first and second

Answer 1

tRNAs withF Variations each in the Three positions would suffice to translate sixteen amino acids. Because of wobble in the Third position, only o translate all wenty amino acids. Therefore, Sixteen RNAs variations suffice t Sixteen should be the minimum needed to translate sixty one sense codons.
