A bacteria divides by binary fission which divides a parent bacteria into the two daughter cells and generation time refers to the average time difference between two consecutive generations.

The bacterial cell grows by the exponential function that is by $2^{number of generation}$ x initial population of bacteria.

In the given question,

Initial population

the initial population of bacteria - 2x 10³ per ml

So per liter, the bacterial population will be 2 x 10 ⁶

Generation time

1 generation time of bacteria is 30 min.

so 5 hours will have-   $\frac{300}{30}$ = 10 generations

New bacterial population

Using formula $2^{number of generation}$ x initial population of bacteria

$2^{10}$ x (2 x 10⁶)

= 1048 x (2 x 10⁶)

2048 x 10⁶

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

One strand in a segment of a gene has the base sequence TGCTTA. What would be the complementary sequence of nucleotides found on

yarga [219]

The complementary sequence of nucleotides found on the other strand of DNA is ACGAAT when one strand in a segment of a gene has the base sequence TGCTTA.

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid is the one which carries the genetic information from the parent to the offspring. During DNA replication one strand of DNA replicates to produce another strand.

The DNA molecule have a anti-parallel structure and the two strands run in opposite direction. If in one strand in a segment of a gene has the base sequence TGCTTA the complementary sequence of nucleotides found on the other strand of DNA will be ACGAAT.
