Explains why the base inosine is included in position 1 in the anticodons of various t-RNAs, why many m-RNA codon words translate to a single amino acid, why there are appreciably fewer t-RNAs than m-RNA codon types, and why the redundant nature of the genetic code translates into a precise set of 20 amino acids. Inosine in Position 1 in the anticodon can base pair with A,U or C in position 3 in the m-RNA codon, so that for example UCU, UCC, UCA all code for Serine using an inosine anticodon.

Type: Term Definitions: 1. that, in translation during protein biosynthesis, thre is a lower degree of specificity for base pairing of the 5′ base of the anticodon in the RNA, allowing that RNA to make alternative hydrogen-bond interactions. See: wobble base, wobble
