The genome of D. melanogaster consists of approximately 1.7 * 108 base pairs. DNA synthesis occurs at a rate of 30 base pairs pe

r second. In the early embryo, the entire genome is repli- cated in five minutes. How many bidirectional origins of synthesis are required to accomplish this feat?

7 0

Answer:

9444.44 origins

Explanation:

From the given information:

The genome of D. melanogaster = 1.7 × 10⁸

1 sec = 30 base pair

1 min = 1800bp i.e. (30  × 60 = 1800)

5 Min = 9000 bp i.e. (1800 × 5 = 9000)

Suppose there was a single bidirectional origin, then the process would proceed as:

= 1.7 × 10⁸ / 2*(1 / sec / 30 bp)

= 2833333.333

SInce it only takes 300 seconds in ( 5 minutes), then:

There should be 2833333.333/300 = 9444.44 origins to accomplish suh feat.

In which developmental stage are genetic malformations most likely to occur?
S_A_V [24]
<span>The answer would be: A) First trimester

</span>Genetic malformation should happen when the baby is forming its organs. Most of the organ is formed at the 3rd weeks of pregnancy which is part of the first trimester. If there is no malformation at this stage, it is less likely that any will develop at the later stage since it involve more growing and developing the current organ.

Which statement best describes the relationship between protein, amino acids, and DNA? (1 point)
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

The major relationship between protein and nucleic acid is the reproduction of DNA which contains the information on how cells are used together with RNA which helps to make protein. Both nucleic acid and protein they have four biomolecules which are common in both of them.

Short answer: Using a binary code, genes (DNA) specify how proteins (among other things) are to be synthesized.

Analogy: If DNA is a cooking book, genes are recipes, and proteins the dishes resulting from processing the recipe ingredients.
