Given the serine codons shown below, what is the minimum number of tRNAs which is required to bind to them?
UCU, UCC, UCA, UCG, AGU, AGC
ExplanationA tRNA with the anticodon IGA will bind to UCU, UCC, and UCA (with wobbling at the third position of the codon). A tRNA with the anticodon CGA will bind to UCG. And the third tRNA, with an anticodon of ICU, can base-pair with both AGU and AGC. Recall that I will base-pair with A, C, or U in the wobble position.
