Textbook Question
Chapter 4.4, Problem 37E
It’s in your genes: Human genetic material (DNA) is made up of sequences of the molecules adenosine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T), which are called bases. A codon is a sequence of three bases. Replicates are allowed, so AAA, CGC, and so forth are codons. Codons are important because each codon causes a different protein to be created.
- a. How many different codons are there?
- b. How many different codons are there in which all three bases are different?
- c. The bases A and G are called purines, while C and T are called pyrimidines. How many different codons are there in which the first base is a purine and the second and third are pyrimidines?
- d. What is the
probability that all three bases are different? - e. What is the probability that the first base is a purine and the second and third are pyrimidines?
