A part of an mRNA molecule with the following sequence is being read by a ribosome: 5' CCG- ACG 3'mRNA). The following charged transfer RNA molecules with their anticodons shown in the 3' to 5' direction) are available. Two of them can correctly match the mRNA so that a dipeptide can form.

There are 61 codons that each specify the addition of a specific amino acid, and three stop codons for which there is no corresponding amino acid. However, there are only about 40 tRNA molecules, representing 40 anticodons. How is that possible?

As scientists were unraveling the mysteries associated with transcription and translation, they discovered there was not a one- to- one correspondence between nucleotide sequence of a gene and base sequence of the mRNA it codes for. They proposed the genes- in- pieces hypothesis. How can the genes- in- pieces hypothesis be explained?
