- Human DNA contains almost twice as much information as is needed to code for all the substances produced in the body. Likewise, the digital data sent from Voyager II contained one redundant bit out of every two bits of information. The Hubble space telescope transmits three redundant bits for every bit of information. How is entropy related to the transmission of information? What do you think is accomplished by having so many redundant bits of information in both DNA and the space probes?arrow_forwardDNA is a nucleic acid that consists of thousands of smaller, repeating units callednucleotides. What function do nucleic acids serve besides storing geneticinformation?arrow_forwardHow many nucleotides does the human genome contain?arrow_forward
- Even though they have several differences, a bacterium and a human cell will both contain DNA. With respect to evolution, what does this fact suggest?arrow_forwardRefer to Figure 2 and compare this with the DNA model in Figure 1. a. In what ways are they similar? b. In what ways are they different? c. What is the biological significance of such differences? Why is the DNA referred to as the genetic material?arrow_forwardMany diseases, cancers and even normal human variations can be caused by mutations and variations in the DNA nucleotide sequence. The most likely immediate result of DNA having a different nucleotide sequence is that Group of answer choices a, no direct result of change in the protein molecule would occur if DNA is mutated b, the protein resulting from the DNA mutation would be denatured and nonfunctional c, the primary structure of amino acid sequence in a protein would be altered. d the peptide bonds in the protein would by hydrolyzed and the protein would fall apartarrow_forward
- DNA is comprised of only 4 unique nitrogenous bases that code for all variation and all amino acids. If there were 6 unique nitrogenous bases instead of 4, how many would be the minimum number of bases required in each codon if there are only 20 amino acids? Explain how you reached that conclusion.arrow_forwardHow does the structure of a DNA molecule help account for the great variety of life that exists on earth?arrow_forwardWhat is DNA?
