Each time we sequence a single nucleotide of DNA using a next-generation technique, there is a .007 probability that the wrong nucleotide is predicted. Each nucleotide prediction is independent. If we are sequencing a single strand of DNA comprised of 200 nucleotides, what is the probability that our result will have 4 or more incorrect predictions?
Answer
we have probability p = 0.007
and sample size is n = 200
we have to find the probability of having 4 or more incorrect predictions.
This is a binomial problem, so we can write it as
Probability(4 or more incorrect prediction) = 1-(Probability of 3 or less predictions)...............equation 1
because we know that the total probability is always equal to 1
We have the foormula
where p is probability = 0.007, n is total sample size = 200and r is selected value
P(0) = =
P(1) = =
P(2) = =
P(3) = =
now adding all these probabilities, we get
P(3 or less) = 0.2454+0.3460+0.2427+0.1129 = 0.9469
So, required probability of 4 or more incorrect prediction = 1- P(3 or less) = 1 - 0.9469 = 0.0531

Question 2 Classical DNA sequencing is a powerful technique. Consider a situation where you first sequence a normal strand of DNA, then sequence a mutated strand. When analysing the results of sequencing reactions, run on a gel, would you be able to distinguish each of the following mutation types, compared to unmutated sequence, using classic "Sanger" sequencing? A silent mutation An insertion of 6 nucleotides A sense mutation Which of the following factors directly breaks phosphodiester bonds? Select all that...

Part D Now can you predict nucleotide quantities in a hypothetical scenario with more than four different types of nucleotides? An alien species was discovered that has DNA comprised of 6 diferent bases: binds to C: A binds to and X binds to Y Approximately 10% of this allen genome is comprised of nucleotides containing Cand 22% is comprised of nucleotides containing Y. Given this information, calculate the percentage of the alien genome that is comprised of nucleotides containing GTA...
Problem 2. Basic statistics. (10 pts.) A DNA sequence S was generated by a series of L independent throws of a four-faced die, whose faces ‘A’, ‘C’, ‘G’, ‘T’ have probabilities πA, πC, πG, and πT respectively. You don't know these probabilities of course, and only have the sequence S to go by. How will you estimate the probabilities πA, πC, πG, and πT from sequence S ? (Show your reasoning as well as formulas for the estimates.) Problem 3....

For the next group of questions consider a diploid cell from a eukaryotic organism with a total of ten chromosomes. After one round of the cell cycle is complete you observe a total of four daughter cells. During this cell division occurred and the resulting daughter cells are. mitosis; haploid with ten total chromosomes each mitosis; diploid with five total chromosomes each meiosis; diploid with ten total chromosomes each meiosis; haploid with five total chromosomes each Before the cell divided,...
Review Questions BIOL 260: Chapters 8-10, 13, 19 1. Consider a mutation involving the deletion of either 1, 2, or 3 nucleotides in the DNA of a bacterium. Which of these mutations (ie., deletion of 1, 2, or 3 nucleotides) would likely have the LEAST impact on the organism? Why? Include in your answer a comparison with the other two options to justify your reasoning. Think carefully about the impact each mutation would have on the ultimate protein coded for...
