Assuming the frequency of a base pair change is 10-9 per base pair per generation, how many base pair changes will have occurred

Answer:

The options:

a) 6

b) 6000

c) 6 x 10^19

d) 0.6

The CORRECT ANSWER IS a)

a) 6

Explanation:

Base pair changes

= genome size × frequency of a base pair change

Given,

genome size = 6 x 10^9 bp

frequency of a base pair change = 10^-9

=6 x 10^9 x 10^-9

= 6 × 10^9+(-9)

= 6 × 10^9-9

= 6 × 10^0

= 6 × 1

= 6 base pair changes

IRISSAK [1]
Answer:
Letter E - exons are cut from the strand and removed

Explanation:

Letter A and B are incorrect because the poly-A tail and guanine cap are added to the 3’ and 5’ end respectively. They aid in translation of the mRNA, while serving as protection. The poly-A tail is repeated adenine nucleotides, while the guanine cap is a modified guanine nucleotide.

Letter C is incorrect because alternative splicing is one mechanism for generating variation, and is thought to be one of the reasons for why humans have smaller genomes than other organisms and still maintain high complexity. Alternative splicing is incredibly important because it produces more than one transcript from a pre-mRNA.

Letter D is incorrect because introns are the non coding portions of the mRNA. They are excised to make a smaller mRNA transcript, and one that contains all the protein genes.

This letter E is the correct answer, because exons are the coding portions of the mRNA, and are not excised during RNA processing.

Hope that helped! If I made a mistake, please let me know.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

We are being provided with little information about the question in the study.

The 50 ml is required to make an unknown solution which has a mass of 5g,

SO, we are to determine the amount of grams that will be needed to make the product.

We are not given information about the product, as such this will be difficult and impossible to answer.

You can add the additional information required in the comment section below and further explanation and the detailed solution will be provided.

Thanks!!!
