  1. Degeneration of a genetic code is attributed to the
    1. third member of a codon
    2. first member of a codon
    3. second member of a codon
    4. entire codon
Correct Option: A

According to the Wobble hypothesis, tRNA anticodon has the ability to wobble at its 5′end by pairing with even noncomplementary base of mRNA codon. It correspond to third base degeneracy of the codons.
