(a)
Interpretation:
It should be determined that whether the given base sequences are sticky or not sticky.
Concept Introduction:
A base is nitrogen containing heterocyclic compound which is found in DNA and RNA.
There are mainly four nitrogen bases found in DNA and they are,
- (1) Adenine
- (2) Guanine
- (3) Cytosine
- (4) Thymine
Short stretches of single stranded DNA are sticky (complementary) to each other. If both ends are cut with the same enzyme, the sticky ends will stick together by complementary base pairing, forming hydrogen bonds.
In DNA, Adenine always makes a double bond with thymine (

While studying the structure of a small gene that was recently sequenced during the Human Genome Project, an investigator notices that one strand of the DNA molecule contains the following: 20 adenine (A) bases 30 cytosine (C) bases25 guanine (G) bases 22 thymine (T) bases How many of each base is found in the complete double-stranded molecule?arrow_forward
- The four nucleotides A,T,C,G are shuffled in a random order and put in a row. How many possible orderings are there? Now there are six nucleotides: A,A,C,C,C,C and they are shuffled and put into a row. How many possible orderings are there?arrow_forwardWhich of the following sequences is most likely to form a beta-turn? Explain why?

- According to Chargaff's rule of nitrogenous base pairing, which of the following statements is correct? If all adenine bonds to thymine and all cytosine pairs with guanine, then the sum of all adenine will never be equal to the sum of all thymine in a DNA molecule. If all adenine bonds to thymine and all cytosine pairs with guanine, then the sum of all adenine will never be equal to the sum of all thymine in an RNA molecule. If all adenine bonds to thymine and all cytosine pairs with guanine, then the sum of all adenine equals the sum of all thymine in a DNA molecule. If all adenine bonds to uracil and all cytosine pairs with guanine, then the sum of all adenine will never be equal to the sum of all uracil in an RNA molecule.arrow_forwardHơ many mismatches would you expect to find between this sequence and the reference sequence? I know the answer is 3, can you please explain why?arrow_forwardWhat will be the order of amino acids derived from the following DNA sequence 5’-TGATCGCACAAT-3’? Explain briefly. (1.5) If the base G (denoted by an asterisk) in the sequence 5’-TGATCG*CACAAT-3’ is replaced by C due to a mutation, the new sequence will be 5’-TGATCCCACAAT-3’ what will be the new amino acid sequence? Explain briefly. (1.5) If the anticodon sequence of a tRNA is 5’-GCG-3’, what amino acid will it carry? Explain briefly. (1.5) What would be the effect of mutation if the C is changed to A in the anticodon? Explain briefly. (1.5)arrow_forward
