Question

For both questions, assume that the four types of nucleotides are equally likely to be found in DNA. Calculate how often, on average, a type II restriction endonuclease is expected to cut a DNA molecule if the recognition sequence for the enzyme has 5 bp. Once in every ___ bp

Answer 1

Answer:

1024 bp

Explanation:

we know that the frequency of any base sequence in DNA is  1/(4ⁿ) . so we can calculate it for 5 bp sequence

for 5 bp recognition sequence= 1/(4⁵)=1024 bp
