The human genome contains approximately 10 6 copies of an Alu sequence, one of the best-studied classes of short interspersed el

ements (SINEs), per haploid genome. Individual Alu units share a 282-nucleotide consensus sequence followed by a 3'-adenine-rich tail region (Schmid, 1998). Given that there are approximately 3×109 base pairs per human haploid genome, about how many base pairs are spaced between each Alu sequence?

Answer:

3000

Explanation:

- Human haploid genome >>> 3 x 10⁹ base pairs >>> 3,000,000,000 base pairs

- Human haploid genome >>> 10⁶ copies >>>  1,000,000 Alu Transposable Elements

- Space between each Alu Transposable Element (TE) >>>

3,000,000,000 base pairs / 1,000,000 Alu elements  = 3,000 base pairs

Alu elements are highly repetitive DNA sequences that account for approximately 20% of the human genome. These sequences (Alu) are considered to be non-autonomous Transposable Elements (TEs) capable of transposing within the genome via an RNA intermediary.

A usable dilution of disinfectant is one that prevents growth of bacteria when compared with the positive control tube. reduces
dolphi86 [110]

When compared to the positive control, a disinfectant dilution is considered to be useful if it stops bacterial growth.

Choosing a disinfectant:

When selecting a disinfectant, keep the following things in mind:

  • The range of bacteria that need to be eliminated. Look into the specifications of the manufacturers.
  • The conditions of usage of disinfectant.

Application of disinfectants :

  • Activity: it is necessary for efficient disinfection since, once diluted, it degrades over time. Different disinfectants deteriorate at different rates. Obtain data from the manufacturers. Disinfectants that don't have a color indication, like Virkon, should be marked with an expiration date.
  • Touch time: it has to be verified that the manufacturer's data to make sure the organism stays in contact for the specified amount of time. Considering that solid materials like cells and tissue granules are difficult for disinfectants to penetrate, autoclaving would be a more effective way to inactivate.

Therefore the correct choice is an option (A).
