Question

Deduce the RNA If DNA had 5 different bases, a restriction enzyme with a 4-base recognition sequence would predicted to digest the DNA approximately every A. 125 bp. B. 256 bp. C. 425 bp. D. 625 bp. E. 1056 bp. Assume the frequency of all 5 nucleotides are same.

Answer 1

Answer:

option (D) 625 bp

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question :

Number of different bases, B = 5

Number of base recognition sequence, n = 4

Frequency of all 5 nucleotides are same

Now,

The RNA will be deduced using the formula as:

⇒ Bⁿ

on substituting the respective values, we get

⇒ 5⁴

or

⇒ 625 bp

Hence, the correct answer is option (D) 625 bp
