- When the human genome sequence was finally completed, scientists were surprised to discover that the genome contains far fewer genes than expected. How many genes are present in the human genome? Scientists have also found that there are many more different kinds of proteins in human cells than there are different genes in the genome. How can this be explained?arrow_forwardHow many nucleotides does the human genome contain?arrow_forwardIf the genetic code used 4 bases at a time, how many amino acids could be encoded?arrow_forward
- The human genome has approximately 30,000 genes, but human cells can produce over 100,000 different polypeptides. Explain how this is possiblearrow_forwardThe human genome has 3.3 billion bases, of which 3% codes for protein. If a codon were four letters instead of three, what percentage of the genome would have to code to generate the amount of protein?arrow_forwardWhat is a gene? How many oxons are in the basic structure of a genearrow_forward
- How many comparisons are needed to count the number of duplicates in a list? How many comparisons are needed to find the maximum value in a list of numbers? How many unique length 3 codons coding amino acids can be made from the unique 4 nucleotides found in genes?arrow_forwardThe human genome contains thousands of sequences known as small open reading frames, some of which encode proteins of about 30 amino acids. What is the minimum number of nucleotides required to encode such a protein?arrow_forwardIf a bacterial protein is 3,300 amino acids long, how many nucleotidepairs long is the gene sequence that codes for it?arrow_forward
- a molecular geneticist hopes to find a gene in human liver cells that codes for an important blood-clotting protein. he knows that the nucleotide sequence of a small part of the gene is gtggactgaca. briefly explain how to obtain the desired gene answerarrow_forwardThe genetic code uses three bases to encode one amino acid. Why can't the code use only two bases to encode each amino acid?arrow_forwardIf a prokaryotic gene coding region is 42 nucleotides long, beginning with a start codon and ending with a stop codon, how many amino acids will it have?arrow_forward
