Question

15. For species Y, how many kbp of DNA there are for each of the four nitrogenous bases. If you do not have enough information to answer, please explain what more info you'd need. The two strands of a DNA molecule can be split (denatured) by heating. If a scientist is careful and slowly raises the temperature, the DNA molecule will reach a point where the bonds between the two strands fail and the strands separate. 16. Thinking about species X and Y, can you predict which one would have DNA that separates at a LOWER temperature? EXPLAIN your answer. Think about how the species' DNA differ

Explanation / Answer

15. the dna is usually double-stranded for any species, the size of a gene or any individuals genome is measured in terms of base pairs. The number of Total base pairs is equal to the number of nucleotides in one of the strand. The species having 23 chromosomes that is haploid Human Genome is estimated to have about 3.2 billion bases long and to contain about 23,000 protein coding genes.

16. The DNA having low GC content, and having small length of molecules and the extent of mispairing, if present will break in a low temperature. DNA with high GC content is usually more stable than a dna with low GC content.
