It’s in your genes: Hunan genetic material ONA) is made up of sequences of the molecules adenosine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T), which are called bases. A codon is a sequence of free bases. Replicates are allowed, so AAA, CGC, and so forth are codons. Codons are important because each codon causes a different protein to be created.
How many different codons are there?
How many different codons are there in which all three bases are different?
The bases A and G are caned purines, C and T are caned pyrimidines. How many different codons are there in which the first base is a purine and the second and third are pyrirnidines?
What is the probability that all three bases are different?
What is the probability that the first base is a purine and the second and third are pyrimidines?

- Is there a formula or way to determine how many transpositions there are for a cycle of a given length? Is there a bound of sorts on the minimum and maximum number of transpositions for a cycle of a given length? For example, suppose I have a cycle of length 5. I know there are only an even number of transpositions possible, but how many are there actually? Wouldn't the smallest number be 4 transpositions for a cycle of length 5? I know there is one with 6 transpositions possible for a cycle of length 5? Are there others? If so, can we determine them? Is it correct to say that if a permutation is a 5-cycle, then it has 2s number of possible transpositions?arrow_forwardA group of 650 tourists includes 248 who have visited Germany, 115 who have visited Holland,and 319 who have visited neither Germany nor Holland.

- A snowboard manufacturer has three plants, one in the eastern United States, one in the western United States, and one in Canada. Production records show that the U.S. plants each produced 10,000 snowboards last month, while the Canadian plant produced 8000 boards. Of all the boards manufactured in Canada last month, 4% had a defect that caused the boards to delaminate prematurely. Records kept at the U.S. plants show that 3% of the boards manufactured in the eastern United States and 6% of the boards manufactured in the western United States had this defect as well. a) What proportion of the boards manufactured last month were defective? b) What is the probability that a snowboard is defective and was manufactured in Canada? c) Given that a snowboard is defective, what is the probability that it was manufactured in the United States?arrow_forward3.

He had planned on using a random answer generator to determine which of true or false would be the correct answer for each quiz question, but his internet is not working.

- A glazier buys his glass from four different manufacturers - Clearglass (10%),Strongpane (25%), Mirrorglass (30%) and Reflection (35%). In the past, the glazierhas found that 1% of Clearglass' product is cracked, 1.5% of Strongpane's productis cracked, and 2% of Mirrorglass' and Reflection's products are cracked. Theglazier removes the protective covering from a sheet of glass without looking at themanufacturer's name - in other words, it's a random choice. He finds the glass iscracked. What is the probability it was made by Mirrorglass?arrow_forwardHow many permutations can be formed with two types of objects with n objects of type 1 and n^2 objects of type 2 when each permutation excludes one object of either type?arrow_forwardA television director has to schedule commercials during 6 time slots allocated to commercialsduring the national telecast of the first period of a Montréal Canadiens hockey game.(a) In how many ordered ways can the television director schedule 6 different commercialsduring the 6 time slots?(b) In how many ways can the television director fill the 6 time slots allocated tocommercials, if there are 4 different commercials, of which a given one is to be shown 3times while each of the others is to be shown once?(c) As in (b) except the commercial shown three times can’t be shown before or after itself(i.e., not consecutively).
