Select the correct one (w.r.t. Wobble hypothesis)

A

Third base of a codon lacks vibrating capacity

B

Third base can establish H-bonds even with the non complementary anticodon

C

Specificity of a anticodon is particulary determined by first two codon

D

Major cause of degeneracy is the first two N-bases of codon

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Wobble Hypothesis**: The Wobble Hypothesis explains how the third base of a codon can pair with more than one type of base in the corresponding anticodon. This flexibility allows for a degree of redundancy in the genetic code. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option 1**: "Third base of the codon lacks vibrating capacity." - This statement is incorrect. The third base does have wobble capacity, meaning it can pair with non-complementary bases. - **Option 2**: "Third base can establish hydrogen bond even with non-complementary anticodon." - This statement is correct. The third base can indeed form hydrogen bonds with non-complementary bases, which is a key aspect of the Wobble Hypothesis. - **Option 3**: "Specificity of an anticodon is particularly determined by the first two codons." - This statement is incorrect. The specificity of an anticodon is primarily determined by the first base pairing, while the third base can vary. - **Option 4**: "Major cause of the degeneracy is the first two nitrogen bases of the codon." - This statement is also incorrect. The degeneracy of the genetic code is largely due to variations in the third base of the codon. 3. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the options, the correct statement with respect to the Wobble Hypothesis is **Option 2**: "Third base can establish hydrogen bond even with non-complementary anticodon."
