(a)
To calculate: The number of possible sequence of four nucleotides, if each
Concept introduction:
A genetic code translates the genetic information encoded within the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or mRNA sequence into the protein and also determines the amino acid sequence of that protein. Nucleotides are the ubiquitous molecules and the building blocks of
(b)
To calculate: The number of possible sequence of four nucleotides, if consecutive sequence of two nucleotides is coded for one amino acid.
Concept introduction:
A genetic code translates the genetic information encoded within the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or mRNA sequence into the protein and also determines the amino acid sequence of that protein. Nucleotides are the ubiquitous molecules and the building blocks of nucleic acids. Three nucleotides are needed to encode an amino acid which is known as codon.
(c)
To calculate: The number of possible sequence of four nucleotides, if consecutive sequence of three nucleotides is coded for one amino acid.
