The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the wobble hypothesis and which amino acid it cannot be applied to, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Wobble Hypothesis**: The wobble hypothesis suggests that the third position of a codon can vary and still code for the same amino acid. This means that multiple codons can correspond to a single amino acid. 2. **Identify the Options**: The question provides several options of amino acids. We need to determine which amino acid does not follow the wobble hypothesis. 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option A: Tryptophan and Cysteine**: - Tryptophan is encoded by a single codon (UGG). Therefore, it does not have multiple codons that can code for it, which means wobble hypothesis does not apply. - Cysteine has two codons (UGU and UGC), so it does follow the wobble hypothesis. - **Option B: Cysteine and Serine**: - As previously mentioned, cysteine has two codons. - Serine has six codons (UCU, UCC, UCA, UCG, AGU, AGC), so it follows the wobble hypothesis. - **Option C: Tryptophan and Methionine**: - Tryptophan, as noted, has only one codon (UGG). - Methionine is encoded by a single codon (AUG), which is also a start codon. Thus, it does not follow the wobble hypothesis. - **Option D: Serine and Methionine**: - Serine has multiple codons, so it follows the wobble hypothesis. - Methionine, as stated, has only one codon, so it does not follow the wobble hypothesis. 4. **Conclusion**: The amino acid that cannot have the wobble hypothesis applied to it is Tryptophan, as it is encoded by a single codon (UGG). ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Tryptophan**.
