Question
Chapter 11, Problem 51RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The term microRNAs is to be defined.
Concept information:
RNA is one of the major genetic materials present in the living and nonliving (such as viruses) systems, apart from DNA.
RNA has four major components such as a ribose sugar, a purine (A and G) or pyrimidine (A and U), and three phosphates attached to its structure.

- REFLECT AND APPLY E. coli incorporates deoxyribonucleotides into DNA at a rate of 250 to 1000 bases per second. Using the higher value, translate this into typing speed in words per minute.

If you could type with the accuracy with which the prokaryote E. coli incorporates, proofreads, and repairs bases in replication (about one uncorrected error in 109to1010 bases), how many such books would you have to type before an uncorrected error is permitted?
