No it’s the other way around .

RNA is much shorter than DNA. DNA contains the code for making lots and lots of different proteins. Messenger RNA contains the information to make just one single polypeptide chain - in other words for just one protein, or even just a part of a protein if it is made up of more than one polypeptide chain.

Answer:

RNA is actually smaller than DNA

Explanation:

DNA contains codes for making lots of different proteins, while RNA only contains the info to make one single protein, or just a part of a protein if it is made up of more than one other protein.

Assume that the mutation rate for a given gene is 1 × 10−6 mutations per generation. For that gene, how many mutations would be
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

500

Explanation:

Mutation rate is largely known as changes that occur in the frequency of a particular gene over an extended period of time

So given that;

the  mutation rate of a particular gene = 1 × 10⁻⁶

The expected mutations after 500 million sperm are examined will be:

= (1 × 10⁻⁶)×(500,000,000)

= 500

Thus, The expected mutations  = 500

Red-green color blindness (c) is a recessive sex-linked trait. A colorblind male marries a normal female.
solong [7]
Sex linked traits can only be held on the X chromosomes, so males only need one while females need two. Since the daughter has it, it must mean the mother is a carrier and has one normal X chromosome and another with the recessive trait (c).

If you were to try and pair a thymine with a cytosine (a non Watson-Crick base pairing), then would you expect to see any stabil
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Yes, two hydrogen bonds could form between thymine and cytosine.

Explanation:

Cytosine is a pyrimidine base found in both DNA and RNA, and Thymine is a pyrimidine base found in only DNA. Electronegative Oxygen and Nitrogen atoms with free lone pairs are potential hydrogen bond acceptors. Hydrogen atoms attached to very electronegative atoms like Oxygen and Nitrogen have strong partial positive charge and are potential hydrogen bond donors.

One hydrogen bond could form between the C4 carbonyl group on thymine which is a hydrogen bond acceptor and the C4 amino group on cytosine which is a hydrogen bond donor. Also, another hydrogen bond could be formed between N3 of thymine which is a hydrogen bond donor and the N3 of cytosine that is a hydrogen bond acceptor.

It is important to note that hydrogen bond cannot be formed between them because the C2 carbonyl groups found on both bases are both hydrogen bond acceptors.
