Wobble hypothesis was given by

A.
Shull
B.
Crick
Answer
C.
Benzer
D.
Watson

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The wobble hypothesis was given by Crick.
In 1966, Francis Crick hypothesized that the cell's limited number of tRNAs decoded the genome by recognizing more than one codon. The ambiguity of that recognition resided in the third base pair, giving rise to the Wobble Hypothesis.
The Wobble hypothesis proposes that normal base pairing can occur between nitrogen bases in positions 1 and 2 of the codon and the corresponding bases in the anticodon.
