If the codon were 5 bases long instead of three, how many codons would exist in a genetic code comprised of only A, T, G, and C?
Homework Answers
If the codon was 5 bases long,
Than at each position of codon, 1 out of 4 bases will come.
Probability of a base at any position of codon = 1/4
There are 5 such positions.
Total probability of 5 bases long codon = 1/4 × 1/4 × 1/4 × 1/4 × 1/4 = (1/4)^5 = 1/1024
Total codons = 1/probability of codon
Number of codons = 1024
Please rate.

Step 5: Determine how treatment with hydroxyamine will alter each DNA stop codon and the resulting mRNA stop codon. In the last step, the DNA equivalent of each mRNA stop codon was determined. The mRNA and matching DNA stop codons are listed in the table. Also, recall from a previous step that hydroxylamine exposure results in the replacement of a C with a T and a G with an A. Determine how the reaction of DNA with hydroxylamine will alter...

1. DNA replication is considered semiconservative because Group of answer choices it will create three new, identical strands when finished. it never replicates in the 5 to 3 prime direction. it always replicates in the 3 to 5 prime direction. it uses the original strand as a template for replication. 2. Which is NOT true about the genetic code? Group of answer choices It produces 64 different possibilities of base sequences. It contains start and stop codons as instructions. It...
