One copy of the human genome is 3 billion (3 X 109base pairs). Pretend that instead of 4 bases (AGCT) there are 5, and that the 5th base (called D) pairs with itself. Pretend also that all 5 bases are present at equal frequency in the human genome.
Suppose you digested to completion one copy of the human genome with the enzyme Eco RI (recognition sequence 5'-GAATTC).
A Given the information above about the 5thbase, what would be the average size of the DNA fragments?And how many fragments are produced?
Answer -
Number of fragments in human genome = 192000

To estimate the genome size of a newly discovered organism, you digest one copy of its genomic DNA with the restriction enzyme EcoRI, which has a 6 bp recognition site. The genome is cut into about 100,000 fragments. Which is your best estimate of the size of this organism’s genome?
The human genome consists of approximately 3 billion base pairs. If humans typically differ from one another by about 3 million base pairs, what is the nucleotide variability of Homo sapiens? How was this calculated?
The human genome comprises just over 3.1 billion base pairs. Assuming average nucleosome spacing throughout the genome, how many molecules of histone H2A are present in the chromatin of one somatic human cell after DNA replication but before cell division? O 32 million 6.2 million O 124 million 3.1 milion 62 million

Protein P is synthesized in relatively high amounts in the human pancreas. This protein has been isolated and purified, but its amino acid sequence has not been determined. We wish to clone the gene for protein P. (a) How can a probe be prepared to identify the gene for protein P? (b) If we have prepared a radioactive messenger RNA as our probe in part (a), how could we verify that it is the mRNA for protein P? (c) If...
Question 1 Hardy and Weinberg mathematically proved that as time goes by in a population: Select one: a. The frequency of homozygotes will increase. b. The proportion of all genotypes will remain constant. c. Dominant alleles will increase to a 3:1 ratio. d. Recessive alleles will increase over time. e. Heterozygotes will increase. Question 2 Why is it easy to measure allele frequencies in a co-dominant allele system? Select one: a. Phenotypes are equivalent to genotypes. b. Such systems are...
alllll them please all To MOST readily demonstrate transformation of bacteria in the laboratory one could extract DNA from: A) his cells and add the DNA to his cells, then grow the cells on plates with histidine B) hist cells and add the DNA to his cells, then grow the cells on plates without histidine C) lac" cells and add the DNA to lact cells, then grow the cells on plates without histidine D) amp cells and add the DNA...
Genetics Worksheet Week 3: Gene Regulation and Epigenetics 1. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation in a gene that is 2.5 million nucleotides in length and encodes a protein called dystrophin. The dystrophin protein itself is 3684 amino acids in length. Calculate below the approximate size of the mRNA that encodes dystrophin. Approximately what percentage of the gene that encodes dystrophin is intron sequence? The human genome encodes a much greater variety and number of proteins than the...
