Answer :
The number of codons in the human genome are 16,000,000.
What is the total number of codons if there are 3.2 x 10^9 nucleotides?
It is known each codon is made up of 3 nucleotides, therefore, the formula we can use is the total of nucleotides / 3 = number of codons.
- 3.2 x 10^9 / 3 = 1,066,666,666.66 or 1.06666666666 × 10^9
What is the number of protein-coding sequences if only 1.5 percent consists of protein-coding sequences?
To find the answer, you will need to find the 1.5 percent of 1.06666666666 × 10^9.
- 1.06666666666 × 10^9 x 0.015 = 15,999,999.999 or 16,000,000
