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.  

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

The NaCl crystal structure consists of alternating Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions lying next to each other in three dimensions. If the Na⁺ rad
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer : The radii of the two ions Cl⁻ ion and Na⁺ ion is, 181 and 102 pm respectively.

Explanation :

As we are given that the Na⁺ radius is 56.4% of the Cl⁻ radius.

Let us assume that the radius of Cl⁻ be, (x) pm

So, the radius of Na⁺ = x\times \frac{56.4}{100}=(0.564x)pm

In the crystal structure of NaCl, 2 Cl⁻ ions present at the corner and 1 Na⁺ ion present at the edge of lattice.

Thus, the edge length is equal to the sum of 2 radius of Cl⁻ ion and 2 radius of Na⁺ ion.

Given:

Distance between Na⁺ nuclei = 566 pm

Thus, the relation will be:

2\times \text{Radius of }Cl^-+2\times \text{Radius of }Na^+=\text{Distance between }Na^+\text{ nuclei}

2\times x+2\times 0.564x=566

2x+1.128x=566

3.128x=566

x=180.9\approx 181pm

The radius of Cl⁻ ion = (x) pm = 181 pm

The radius of Na⁺ ion = (0.564x) pm = (0.564 × 181) pm =102.084 pm ≈ 102 pm

Thus, the radii of the two ions Cl⁻ ion and Na⁺ ion is, 181 and 102 pm respectively.
