Permutation is the ordered arrangement of m number items out of a list of
n items. For instance, the DNA strand with sequence of 3 bases: G-A-C IS
different w ith A-G-C, C-A-G, G-C-A, A-C-G, and C-G-A. From this, we have:
P-3)
3!
3x2x1
Therefore, there are 6 dıfferent sequences of DNA strands that can be
formed out of 3 given bases. In general, we have this formula for permutation:
(n-m)!
Count the number of ways in which: Guanıne, Adenine, Cytosine, Thymıne,
Cytosine, and Guanıne (6 bases) be sequenced in one DNA strand?
The A and G compositions (mole percent) of one of the strands of a duplex DNA is A = 27 and G = 30. (a) What would be the T and C compositions of the complementary strand? (b) What can be said about the A and G compositions of its complementary strand?
Assume that the molar percentage of thymine in a double stranded DNA is 20. What are the percentages of the four bases (G, C, T, A)?
b. The base content of a sample of DNA is as follows: A=31% G=31% T=19% C=19%. What conclusion can be drawn from this information?

C + T = A + G b. CA = TGarrow_forwardThe two sides of the DNA double helix are connected by pairs of bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine). Because of the geometric shape of these molecules, adenine bonds with thymine and cytosine bonds with guanine. The figure below shows the bonding of thymine and adenine. Each charge shown is +e or - e, and the H-N distance is 0.110 nm. (a) Calculate the net force that thymine exerts on adenine. Is it attractive or repulsive? To keep the calculations fairly simple, yet reasonable, consider only the forces due to the O- H-N and the N-H-N combinations, assuming that these two combinations are parallel to each other. Remember, however, that in the O-H-N set, the O- exerts a force on both the H+ and the N-, and likewise along the N–H-N set. (b) Calculate the force on the electron in the hydrogen atom, which is 0.0529 nm from the proton. Then compare the strength of the bonding force of the electron in hydrogen with the bonding force of the adenine-thymine molecules (H (H (H)…arrow_forward
