5. a particular anticodon is 5'-agc-3'. the codon that is a precise complementary base pair match for this is 5'-agu-3'. however, this anticodon can also bind to the codon 5'-gcu-3'. both codons specify the amino acid serine. 3'-ucg-5' anticodon 3'-ucg-5' 5'-agc-3' codon 5'-agu-3' how can this one anticodon bind to two different codons?

Explanation:

Wobble Hypothesis given by Francis Harry Compton Crick states that 3rd base of mRNA codon can base pair with 1st base of a tRNA anticodon undergoing non-Watson-Crick.

The first 2 bases of the mRNA codon form Hydrogen bonds with the corresponding bases on tRNA anticodon in Watson-Crick manner. Through this, they only form the base pairs with the complimentary bases. However, formation of the Hydrogen bonds between 3rd base on codon and 1st base on anticodon can occur potentially in non-Watson-Crick manner.  

Thus, the Wobble Hypothesis explains that why the multiple codons can code for single amino acid.

a graduated cylinder.

explanation:

when 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l naoh was mixed in a calorimeter with 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l hcl, both initially at 20.0 °c, the temperature increased to 22.1 °c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 279 j/°c.

the equation for the reaction is:

naoh + hcl → nacl + h₂o

moles of hcl = 0.0250 l hcl ×

0.700

mol hcl

1 l hcl = 0.0175 mol hcl

volume of solution = (25.0 + 25.0) ml = 50.0 ml

mass of solution = 50.0 ml soln ×

ml soln

= 50.0 g soln

= (22.1 – 20.0) °c = 2.1 °c

the heats involved are
