Chapter 4, Problem 26P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number of different 8-mer sequences of DNA needs to be determined, where there are 16 possible dinucleotides and 64 possible trinucleotides and each position can be one of the four bases, corresponding to two bits of information.

Introduction:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule consisting of two strands that twist around each other to create a double strand containing DNA directions for the development, working, growth and breeding of all recognized species and many bacteria. Also recognized as polynucleotides, the two DNA sections consist of simpler monomeric blocks called nucleotides.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The number of bits of information that are stored in an 8-mer DNA sequence, in E.coli genome and in human genome needs to be determined.

(c)

Interpretation:

The calculated values in part (b) needs to be compared with the information stored on a 2 gigabyte flash drive.
