1
New cards
Wobble hypothesis
the third position does not adhere as structly to base-pairing rules
2
New cards
Codon
three consecutive nucleotides
3
New cards
unambiguous
each codon codes for only one amino acid
4
New cards
Degenerate
one amino acid can be coded for by multiple codons
5
New cards
Commaless
No skipping between triplets
6
New cards
nonoverlapping
each codon is part of only one triplet
7
New cards
colinear
order of codons corresponds to order of amino acid
8
New cards
nearly universal
same codons code for same amino acid
9
New cards
Reading frame
dividing nucleotide sequence into triplets
10
New cards
Open reading frame
must contain start and stop codon
