Solutions For An Introduction to Genetic Analysis Chapter 9 Problem 17P

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution 1

The anticodons for tRNA molecule carrying isoleucine are 3´ UAA 5´ (complementary), 3´ UAG 5´ (complementary), and 3´ UAI 5´ (Wobble), which pairs with the codons 5´ AUU 3´, 5´ AUC 3´, and 5´ AUA 3´.

5´ UAU 3´ even though complementary, it would also base pairs with 5´ AUG 3´ due to wobble and consequently it would not be a suitable alternative. Therefore, there are no alternative answers.
