Which of the Following is Not a Key Advantage of Wobble

Question

Which of the following is not a key advantage of wobble in the codon-anticodon reaction?
A) It allows for fewer tRNAs in the cell.
B) It allows for making more than one protein from the same coding sequence.
C) It allows for a certain amount of mutation in the mRNA without affecting the protein sequence.
D) All of these are advantages of wobble.

Accepted Answer

Wobble in the codon-anticodon reaction allows for a single tRNA to recognize multiple codons, thus reducing the number of tRNAs needed and providing some tolerance to mutations. However, it does not enable the production of more than one protein from the same coding sequence; that outcome is more related to processes like alternative splicing rather than the wobble phenomenon.
