Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion

Transcribed Image Text:Before the technology existed to
synthesize RNA molecules of defined
sequence (like ACACACAC.....), it was
possible only to synthesize RNA
molecules of undefined (random)
sequence. For example, RNAs
consisting only of As-and Cs could be
synthesized in vitro, but they would
have random sequences of As and Cs.
Suppose a pool of random sequence
RNAs was synthesized in a reaction
mixture containing 9 times as much
ATP as CTP (9 A: 1 C) in vitro.
Calculate the probability for Proline
codons (CCU, CCC, CCA, CCG) found in
the random RNAs.
a. 9/10
b. (9/10)^3
c. (9/10)^5 x (1/10)
d. (1/10)^5 x (9/10)^1
e. (1/10)^3
f. (1/10)^3 + (1/10)^2(9/10)
