The Wobble hypothesis suggests that the 5' end of the tRNA anticodon can pair with a non-complementary base in the mRNA codon, explaining the degeneracy of the third codon position.

1. a) Correct
2. b) Incorrect
3. c) Partially correct
4. d) Not applicable

Correct answer: a) Correct

Solution

The Wobble hypothesis explains that the 5' end of the tRNA anticodon can form non-standard base pairing with the third base of the mRNA codon, allowing for codon degeneracy. This makes the statement true.
