Imagine that NASA discovered a prokaryote-like organism. Initial experiments indicated they use the same DNA → RNA → protein sys

tem as life on Earth, except that
there are only 2 bases (A and T) in the Martian DNA, and
there are only 17 amino acids found in Martian proteins.
Based on this information, what is the minimum size of a codon for these hypothetical organisms?

Answer:

Imagine that NASA discovered a prokaryote-like organism. Initial experiments indicated they use the same DNA → RNA → protein system as life on Earth, except that

there are only 2 bases (A and T) in the Martian DNA, and

there are only 17 amino acids found in Martian proteins.

Based on this information, what is the minimum size of a codon for these hypothetical organisms?

Mumz [18]

to understand what the result of these crosses would be like, we need to know what is gene

<h3>Gene</h3><h3 />

The gene is a strand of a DNA molecule (deoxyribonucleic acid), which carries the characteristics that are genetically inherited. They are composed of a sequence of DNA and RNA (ribonucleic acid), responsible for the production and synthesis of proteins in the cell. The gene's greatest attribution, therefore, is to be a store and transmitter of information.

Genes can be classified into:

  • Dominant genes: assume the specific characteristic in the offspring;
  • Recessive genes: manifests itself in the absence of the dominant gene;
  • Structural genes: are those that contain the information that will determine the structure of living beings;
  • Operator gene: acts on the functioning of other genes;
  • Regulatory gene: responsible for controlling the synthesis and transcription of other genes.

<h3 /><h3 />

in genetics, are individuals who have pairs of genes that are identical or different alleles. This means that while the has two identical genes alleles, with the beings the opposite happens, since they have two different genes alleles.

with this information we can say that a white and short plant, when crossed with a plant  for both traits, has 60% of this plant being  with expression of the dominant genes and 40% of being  with expression of the recessive gene.

Anna11 [10]

Chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mole

There are mainly two molecules that function as genetic material in living organisms.

These are ribonucleic acid(RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA).

The organisms having DNA as genetic material require packaging of DNA as it is a long polymer of deoxyribonucleotides.

In the case of human beings, the length of DNA in a cell is approximately 2.2 meters which is very large as compared to the size of the nucleus( approximately 10^-6 meters).

So, the DNA has to be made compact for it to be present inside the nucleus of a cell.

Therefore, the DNA present inside the nucleus of a cell undergoes coiling and compaction through several stages before finally becoming a chromosome, which is shown in the adjoining diagram.

Thus, chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules.
