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>

According to the Kinetic Molecular Theory, as the volume of a gas increases: the number of particle impacts per unit area increa
aliya0001 [1]

As the volume of a gas increases <em>at constant temperature</em>, the number of particle impacts per unit area decreases.

There is the same number of impacts, but they are spread over a larger surface area.

Thus, the number of impacts per unit area decreases.

How many grams of h2 are needed to produce 10.78 g of nh3?
balu736 [363]
Ammonia is formed by a reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen as shown by the equation below.
N2(g) + 3H2(g) = 2NH3(g)
1 mole of ammonia contains 17 g
Therefore 10.78 g of ammonia are equivalent to 10.78/17 = 0.6341 moles
The mole ratio of hydrogen to ammonia is 3 : 2
Therefore, moles of hydrogen used will be  0.6341 × 3/2 = 0.9512 moles
1 mole of hydrogen is equivalent to 2 g
Thus, the mas of hydrogen will be 0.9512 moles × 2 = 1.9023 g
