In the genetic code, 61 of the codons specify amino acids and three codons are stop codons

However, according to the wobble hypothesis, a minimum of 31 tRNAs (excluding the initiator) are required to recognize 61 codons. What is the wobble hypothesis? Include in your answer the allowed base pairing scheme between codon and anticodon for the base inosine in the first position of the anticodon. What will be an ideal response?

Geographically isolated subpopulations of a species can evolve partial reproductive isolation in allopatry

If both subpopulations come into secondary contact, they can either fuse into one mixed population, or, dur-ing a process called reinforcement, selection will lead to greater reproductive isolation. The latter will occur if mating with individuals from the other subpopulation reduces an individual's fitness, as the resulting hybrid offspring has lower fitness. Could cultural evolution play a role in reinforcement? a. Yes, if traits that affect reproductive isolation can be culturally transmitted. b. Yes, but only if there is zero cultural transmission between subpopulations. c. No, in order to form separate species, the changes have to be genetic. d. No, culturally transmitted behavioral traits are bound to be "leaky" (allow for some level of gene flow).
