How many genes does the Human Genome contain? The Human Genome Project has revealed that there are probably about 20,000-25,000 'haploid' protein coding genes. The completed human sequence can now identify their locations. But only about 1.5% of the genome codes for proteins, while the rest...
It is well known that genes from chloroplasts and mitochondria were transferred to the nucleus many times during plant evolution. But in what form do the transferred genes physically make that intracellular journey – as RNA, as cDNA, as pieces of organelle DNA, or as whole organelle chromosomes...
How many codons and how many DNA bases do you have the part of the gene that encodes the enzyme uricase? How many DNA molecules are in a cell? During DNA replication, how many nucleotides are copied per second? How many DNA molecules and genes does a single chromosome contain? What does...
How many DNA molecules will be found in each cell during prophase? How many nucleotides make up a codon? How many DNA polymerase are in eukaryotes? There are approximately 3 billion base pairs and a mammalian genome. How many total base pairs are in all the mammalian genes?
Unlike the nuclear genome, the mitochondrial genome is small (containing just 37 genes), circular, and uses a different DNA code. The mitochondrial genome slinks its way across generations by stowing away within mitochondria harboured in each egg, and as such, is passed down from the mother ...
Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing, three cases of heteroplasmy have been identified in the mitochondrial genes of the MCF-7 stock and four single cell clones (ATPase C...
DNA involving Watson–Crick base-pairing can be synthesized with high fidelity, the structural and mechanistic origins of which have been investigated for many decades. Despite this, new chemical insights continue to be uncovered, including recent findings that may explain newly discovered functions for...
. It only takes about 30 generations to have a billion descendants (less if you really work at it), so if you have kids, and they have kids, and so on, then in less time than you’d expect (not forever anyway) you...
Is DNA structure sensitive to DNA sequence? How does DNA structure allow for DNA sequencing? How does DNA structure relate to its function? Why do all cells have the same DNA but different functions? How many strands of DNA do humans have?
During DNA replication, how many nucleotides are copied per second? How many DNA strands are there in a somatic cell? The mimivirus genome is 1 million nucleotides long. How many genes does it code for? A) 1. B) 9. C) 98. D) 979. E) 97,982. How many genes can fit on a typi...
