Chromosome 3 contains nearly 200 million nucleotide pairs of our genome. If this DNA molecule could be laid end to end, how long would it be? The distance between neighboring base pairs in DNA is typically around 0.34 nm.
About 7 mm
About 7 cm
About 7 m
None of the above
The answer is 7.4 cm.
200 million is 2.0 x 10^8. Multiply this by 0.34 nm = 7.4 x 10^7 nm. 1 nanometre is 1.0 x 10^-9 m, so 7.4 x 10^7 nm is 0.074 m or 7.4 cm.

Our understanding of RNA
was non-existent until 2000
started with the identification of a tRNA which suggested a
method of converting DNA to protein
began to identify that DNA-->protein--> RNA
stopped growing after it's original discovery in the 70s

3. (22 points) Researchers sampled mitochondrial DNA from populations of two species of insect herbivores throughout their range, which includes the North American mainland and the peninsula of Baja California, a map of the sampled populations is shown in Figure 2. They calculated haplotype diversity and counted number of haplotypes for each species (Table 3), performed an AMOVA (Table 4), and determined pairwise Fst values between populations, illustrated by the matrices in Tables 5 and 6. Based on these data,...
2. A dominant allele H reduces the number of body bristles that Drosophila flies have, giving rise to a “hairless” phenotype. In the homozygous condition, H is lethal. An independently assorting dominant allele S has no effect on bristle number except in the presence of H, in which case a single dose of S suppresses the hairless phenotype, thus restoring the "hairy" phenotype. However, S also is lethal in the homozygous (S/S) condition. What ratio of hairy to hairless flies...
Please read the article bellow and discuss the shift in the
company's approach to genetic analysis. Please also discuss what
you think about personal genomic companies' approaches to research.
Feel free to compare 23andMe's polices on research with another
company's. Did you think the FDA was right in prohibiting 23andMe
from providing health information?
These are some sample talking points to get you thinking about
the ethics of genetic research in the context of Big Data. You
don't have to...
1. When it comes to financial matters, the views of Aristotle can be stated as: a. usury is nature’s way of helping each other. b. the fact that money is barren makes it the ideal medium of exchange. c. charging interest is immoral because money is not productive. d. when you lend money, it grows more money. e. interest is too high if it can’t be paid back. 2. Since 2008, when the monetary base was about $800 billion,...
