Here is your answer buddy,

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 (3 and 2) in the anticodon. Actually, the base 1 in anticodon can form non-Watson-Crick base pairing with the third position of the codon.

Hope this helps you.

Wobble hypothesis:

  • Wobble Hypothesis was elucidated by "Francis Crick", states that the 3^{rd} base in an "mRNA codon" undergoes "non-Watson Crick base pairing" with the first base found in the tRNA anticodon.
  • First two bases in mRNA codon forms Hydrogen bonds with the corresponding bases on tRNA anticodon in conventional "Watson-crick manner", in which they only form pairs with their complementary bases.
  • However, the formation of Hydrogen bonds between the 3^{rd} base and the 1^{st} base, generally occurs in the Watson-Crick manner.
