- The human genome is approximately 3 billion basepairs in size.a. Using standard 8.5″ × 11″ paper with one-inch margins, a 12-point font size, and single-spaced lines, howmany sheets of paper printed on one side would berequired to print out the human genome?b. A ream of 500 sheets of paper is about 5 cm thick.How tall would the stack of paper with the entirehuman genome be?c. Would you want a backpack, shopping cart, or asemitrailer truck to haul around this stack?arrow_forwardSouthern and Northern blotting are powerful molecular biological tools based on hybridization of nucleic acids. How are these techniques the same? How do they differ? Give some specific applications for each blotting technique.arrow_forwardUsing a laser beam, you isolated several R bands from human chromosomes. Answer the following questions What kinds of genes are present in R bands? Which isochors do you expect to be present in the R band? What class of interspersed repeats will be present in R bands? What class of tandem repeats do you expect to find in RG bands? Would you expect to find telomere sequences in some R bands?arrow_forward
