hw problem. Any help is greatly appreciated

... would he predict about the composition of C, A, and T nucleotides? Explain how you figured this out. I know that the actual test he concluded that guanine was approx. equal to cytosine and the same with adenine and thynine... the first thing that i thought was ,"would it be G 20% and C 80%" ...

DNA question.

Perfect post by kolean, in terms of hydrogen bonding adenine and thymine are linked by 2 hydrogen bonds while guanine and cytosine are linked with 3 hydrogen bonds, thus the DNA strand with the greater ratio of CG will thus have more hydrogen bonds.

Re: DNA question.

So you have Species A and Species B. They both have the same amount of DNA, but have different ratios of the nucleotide bases. Do remember that Guanine is base paired with Cytosine (G+C), and Adenine is base paired with Thymidine (A+T). Species A has a G+C/A+T ratio of 2.0 (for every 2 G+C there ...

a question needing an answer

we know that nitrogenous bases are four ( adnine- thyamine-cytosin-guanine) each three of them translate to the 21th amino acids and the 4 N-bases power 3 (the codon of each amino acid) equal 64 not 21 so my question is what is the role of this extracodon???? ...

Wondering if someone can check this (DNA related)

... 15N from e. coli be found: The base 2b. Given that 15% of the bases in a piece of DNA are thymine, calculate the percentage of the bases that are guanine: 35% Given: ATG: Tyrosine TAC: Methionine CCT: Glycine TCG: Serine CGT: Alanine 1. Write down the amino acid sequence coded for by a piece of ...
