Summary Introduction

To determine: The way in which the number of proteins produced by the genome can be predicted.

Introduction: An organism’s complete DNA set including all its genes is termed as a genome. Genome sequencing is the process in which an organism’s entire sequence of the DNA is determined.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason why the estimate may be inaccurate.

A compact disc (CD) stores about 4.8 × 109 bits of information in a 96 cm2 area. This information is stored as a binary code—that is, every bit is either a 0 or a 1.   how many bits would it take to specify each nucleotide pair in a DNA sequence? how many CDs would it take to store the information contained in the human genome?
A 2500 bp region of the human genome encodes two genes. One of the genes encodes a protein of 600 amino acids and the other gene encodes a protein of 280 amino acids. The mRNA sequences of the two genes do not contain any of the same nucleotide sequences (i.e. they do not overlap). How is this possible? Fully explain your answer.
The DNA chromosome in E. coli contains approximately 4 million base pairs. The average gene contains about 1500 base pairs. Use this information to calculate the following (show all work ): a) The length in meters of this chromosome. b) The approximate number of genes in the chromosome (assuming no wasted DNA).
