There are four nitrogenous bases that makes DNA. These are A, T, G and C. If a DNA strand has eight pairs of nitrogenous bases, the eight bases can be
1. AA GG TT CC
2. GC GG AT CG
3. AT TA GG GC
4. GA AG GC GG
Like this, there can be 65,536 different sequences with ATCG.
Since we have 4 nitrogenous bases, pairing will make 4 X 4 = 16 combinations. If we have to make 8 pairs of bases, the number of possible sequences would be 4 to the power 8.

Answer: THERE WILL BE 65,536 DIFFERENT SEQUENCES OF 8 BASES.

If a point mutation occurs in a body cell so that the original sequence of mRNA of CGA changes to AGA, what will be the likely c
Talja [164]

Hi,

If a point mutation occurs during which  CGA changes to AGA, the mutation will be simply inherited to the offspring and there won't be any harsh effects on the health of individual.

This is because, both AGA and CGA code for same amino acid called Arginine.

We know that mutations posses harmful effects when they change the genetic sequence leading to the incorporation of incorrect amino acid in the organisms and their offspring. But in this case the mutation will not be harmful and will simply be transferred to the offspring and will have no effect on the functioning, fitness or survival of the organism

Hope it helps!:)
