Answer:

I feel like something is wrong with the equation but the answer is a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 3a - 3 = 6 + 3 = 9

--> 4a = 12 --> a = 3

DNA molecules consist of chemically linked sequences of the bases adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine, denoted A, G, C and T.
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

1. See the attached tree diagram (64 different sequences); 2. 64 codons; 3. 8 codons; 4. 24 codons consist of three different bases.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main thing to solve this kind of problem, it is to know if the pool of elements admits <em>repetition</em> and if the <em>order matters</em> in the sequences or collections of objects that we can form.

In this problem, we have the bases of the DNA molecule, namely, adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C) and they may appear in a sequence of three bases (codon) more than once. In other words, <em>repetition is allowed</em>.

We can also notice that <em>order matters</em> in this problem since the position of the base in the sequence makes a difference in it, i.e. a codon (ATA) is different from codon (TAA) or (AAT).

Then, we are in front of sequences that admit repetitions and the order they may appear makes a difference on them, and the formula for this is as follows:

\\ Sequences\;with\;repetition = n^{k} (1)

They are sequences of <em>k</em> objects from a pool of <em>n</em> objects where the order they may appear matters and can appeared more than once (repetition allowed).

<h3>1 and 2. Possible base sequences using tree diagram and number of possible codons</h3>

Having all the previous information, we can solve this question as follows:

All possible base sequences are represented in the first graph below (left graph) and are 64 since <em>n</em> = 4 and <em>k</em> = 3.

\\ Sequences\;with\;repetition = 4^{3} = 4*4*4 = 64

Looking at the graph there are 4 bases * 4 bases * 4 bases and they form 64 possible sequences of three bases or codons. So <em>there are 64 different codons</em>. Graphically, AAA is the first case, then AAT, the second case, and so on until complete all possible sequences. The second graph shows another method using a kind of matrices with the same results.

<h3>3. Cases for codons whose first and third bases are purines and whose second base is a pyrimidine</h3>

In this case, we also have sequences with <em>repetitions</em> and the <em>order matters</em>.

So we can use the same formula (1) as before, taking into account that we need to form sequences of one object for each place (we admit only a Purine) from a pool of two objects (we have two Purines: A and G) for the <em>first place</em> of the codon. The <em>third place</em> of the codon follows the same rules to be formed.

For the <em>second place</em> of the codon, we have a similar case: we have two Pyrimidines (C and T) and we need to form sequences of one object for this second place in the codon.

Thus, mathematically:

\\ Sequences\;purine\;pyrimidine\;purine = n^{k}*n^{k}*n^{k} = 2^{1}*2^{1}*2^{1} = 8

All these sequences can be seen in the first graph (left graph) representing dots. They are:

\\ \{ATA, ATG, ACA, ACG, GTA, GTG, GCA, GCG\}

The second graph also shows these sequences (right graph).

<h3>4. Possible codons that consist of three different bases</h3>

In this case, we have different conditions: still, order matters but no repetition is allowed since the codons must consist of three different bases.

This is a case of <em>permutation</em>, and the formula for this is as follows:

\\ nP_{k} = \frac{n!}{n-k}! (2)

Where n! is the symbol for factorial of number <em>n</em>.

In words, we need to form different sequences (order matters with no repetition) of three objects (a codon) (k = 3) from a pool of four objects (n = 4) (four bases: A, T, G, and C).

Then, the possible number of codons that consist of three different bases--using formula (2)--is:

\\ 4P_{3} = \frac{4!}{4-3}! = \frac{4!}{1!} = \frac{4!}{1} = 4! = 4*3*2*1 = 24

Thus, there are <em>24 possible cases for codons that consist of three different bases</em> and are graphically displayed in both graphs (as an asterisk symbol for left graph and closed in circles in right graph).

These sequences are:

{ATG, ATC, AGT, AGC, ACT, ACG, TAG, TAC, TGA, TGC, TCA, TCG, GAT, GAC, GTA, GTC, GCA, GCT, CAT, CAG, CTA, CTG, CGA, CGT}

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

40 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate area of a rectangle, you use the formula length times width, or base times height.

5 x 8 = 40 feet squared

In 2001 the mint indoor pool vault record was 20 and 1/6 the women’s record for the indoor pool vault was 15 and 5/12 FT what is
blondinia [14]

Answer:

35 and 7/12 feet is the combined height of the two records.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the indoor pool vault record for men = 20 and 1/6 ft =\frac{121}{6} ft

Height of indoor pool vault record for women = 15and 5/12 ft =\frac{185}{12} ft

The combined height of the two records :

\frac{121}{6} ft+\frac{185}{12} ft

\frac{121\times 2}{6\times 2} ft+\frac{185}{12} ft

\frac{242}{12} ft+\frac{185}{12} ft

\frac{242+185}{12} ft=\frac{427}{12}=35\frac{7}{12}

35 and 7/12 feet is the combined height of the two records.

What equation represents a line that when if graphed, passes through the points (0, -1) and
Keith_Richards [23]
Y= 2x-1
Explanation: First, you find slope. If the first point it x-axis point is 0 and the second x-axis point is 1 then you already know the answer is over 1, so you have to figure out how many up you are going on the y-axis from -1 to 1. Which is 2, so your slope is 2/1 or just 2. Next, you find your y-intercept, which is where the line crosses the y-axis, and the easy way to find this is finding what y is equal to when x is equal to 0, in the problem you are told (0, -1) as a point, so they gave you your y-intercept right there, which is -1. Finally you right the equation in slip intercept form (y= mx+b) which is y= 2x-1
