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.

Answer:

Intelligence

Explanation:

Intelligence is basically the ability to learn. It is described as being able to gain knowledge and skills and applying it. So it is not just about knowing things and being able to do things, it also has something to do with being able to "use" knowledge and skills.

With that, the individual is able to understand or like it is mentioned in your question, <u>grasp</u> complex ideas and at the same time, they can use those complex ideas to solve complex problems.
