The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Wobble Position**: The term "wobble position" refers to the flexibility in the base pairing between the codon in mRNA and the corresponding tRNA during protein synthesis. 2. **Identifying the Codon Structure**: A codon consists of three nucleotides. The first two nucleotides typically follow strict base pairing rules, while the third nucleotide (the wobble position) can pair more loosely. 3. **Focusing on the Third Nucleotide**: The wobble position specifically refers to the third nucleotide of the codon. This position allows for variations in base pairing, which means that different tRNAs can recognize the same codon due to this flexibility. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A (Base pairing)**: This option is incorrect because the wobble position is not merely about base pairing; it refers to the flexibility in pairing at the third position. - **Option B (Altered based on code)**: This option is also incorrect as it does not specify that it is the third position that is altered. - **Option C (Third altered based on code)**: This option correctly identifies the wobble position as the third nucleotide in a codon that can vary in its pairing. - **Option D (None of the above)**: This option is incorrect since option C is the correct answer. 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Option C: third altered based on code**, as it accurately describes the wobble position in the context of codons and tRNA. ---
