The interaction between mRNA and tRNA determines the position of amino acid in a polypeptide sequence. This is called the

  • A.degeneracy
  • B.Wobble hypothesis
  • C.promiscuity
  • D.adaptor hypothesis

Answer: D

Correct answer: adaptor hypothesis

Crick’s adaptor hypothesis proposed that an amino acid cannot recognise a codon directly, so an adaptor molecule must exist that binds the amino acid at one end and pairs with the codon at the other. tRNA turned out to be exactly that. The wobble hypothesis, also Crick’s, is a separate idea about the third base of the codon.
