Solution

The phenomenon you're describing is known as "wobble." This is a flexibility in the base-pairing rules in which the nucleotide at the 5’ end of a tRNA anticodon can form hydrogen bonds with more than one kind of base in the third position (3’ end) of a codon. This allows for some variation or "w
