Suppose we have access to the four nucleotides which compose DNA: A, T, C and G. Placed into a sequence with one another, they f

orm a code which can be read by the cell to provide a blueprint for the creation of proteins. When forming a sequence of three nucleotides, the sequences TAA, TAG, and TGA are codes to tell the cell to stop reading the DNA. Assume each sequence of nucleotides is equally likely to be formed.
A. How many possible ways are there to form a sequence of three nucleotides? - 64
B. Of the possible ways to form a sequence of three nucleotides, what is the probability to form a stop sequence? = 0.0469
C. What is the probability that a sequence that is not a stop sequence is formed? 64-3 = 61 61 = 0.983
D. For a three-nucleotide sequence, G is engineered to be in the third place. For the remaining two nucleotides in the sequence, C cannot be in the second place (for example CTG is allowed but not TCG). How many sequences can be formed?
E. Of the number of sequences found in Part D, what is the probability that a stop sequence is formed?

Answer:

The correct answer is :

A. we know there are four nucleotides and three sequence makes a triplet code then total possible ways are:

4^3 = 4×4×4= 64 ways.

B. The stop codons by 64 amino acid or triplet codes: TAA, TAG, and TGA then the probability would be = 3/64 = 0.0469

C. the probability that a sequence that is not a stop sequence is formed = total minus probability of stop codons:

64-3 = 61

61/64 = 0.953

D. G at end place and c should not be in the middle then:

the codes will be =

ATG

AGG

AAG

TTG

TGG

TAG

CTG

CGG

CAG

GTG

GGG

GAG

Total 12 triplet code sequences.

E. Among all these 12 codons there is only one stop codon that is TAG so the probability of this stop codon is :

1/12 = 0.083

Why are girls more likely than boys to be victims of cyberbullying
podryga [215]

Girls are more verbal than boys and more likely to use words to hurt than fists. Previous studies have found that girls are more likely to cyberbully than boys while boys are more likely to be physical. When you look at overall bullying, girls are still significantly higher than boys (but most of that increase comes from the online or by text).

Hopefully this helped! :D

How many chromosomes are in a gamete cell (egg or sperm) in a fruit fly?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

4 chromosomes

Explanation:

Scientists often study fruit flies because they have large chromosomes whose genes are easy to see. Every body cell of a fruit fly has 8 chromosomes. Every fruit fly gamete (sperm or egg) has 4 chromosomes.

How does fertilization affect the chromosome number of a zygote?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Fertilization is the fusion of gametes to form the zygote. ... Fertilization allows restoring of the chromosome number of the species as the two nuclei of gametes fuse together. Therefore, the number of chromosomes in the zygote is twice the number of chromosomes in gametes.
