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

Natali [406]
The correct sequence is; Glycolysis-pyruvate-acetyl CoA-krebs cycle-electron transport chain. 
Glycolysis is a sequence of reactions for the breakdown of glucose to two molecules of pyruvic acid under aerobic conditions, Krebs cycle is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide and chemical energy in the energy carriers, while electron transport chain involves a series of complexes that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions and couples this transfer with the transfer of protons across a membrane.

labwork [276]

Answer:

The major structural difference between chromatin and chromosomes is that the latter are more organized and condensed.

Explanation:

Chromatin is genetic material packaged into a complex by special proteins (histones). That complex is in the form of uncoiled structures, so chromatin fibers are long and thin. Chromatin structure is permissive to DNA replication, transcription and recombination events.

On the other hand, chromosomes are highly condensed structures of genetic material that are formed just before the cell division.
