What does six gene pairs mean?

Genes usually come in pairs because an organism can inherit a given gene from both parents. Six genes is not a lot, that would be a small portion of a genome.


What does a long sequence of base pairs code for?

Coding DNA is DNA that "codes" for protein creation. DNA is NOT strictly speaking a code however, it's more like a 3D reverse template for the protein. The component chemicals coalesce from the cell's plasma against the coding DNA much like a lot of non-biological catalyzation. When the protein is completed it peels off and does whatever that protein does.By contrast, non-coding DNA functions in ways other than direct protein synthesis. Some of these functions are being learned, but others are currently unknown. And it is likely that some of the non-coding sections of DNA are "Junk" DNA, ie DNA that does literally nothing.Junk DNA and non-coding DNA often mutate much faster than coding DNA for the simple reason that mutations in coding DNA are usually fatal.


Is DNA organtic?

Yes it is. To be organic a molecule needs to have carbon in it. DNA is composed of a lot of carbon.


What are major groove and minor groove of DNA?

well, it's quite useful when enzymes supposed to do something with DNA are searching for the "starting sequence". in major groove, you can always recognize the base pairs without unwinding the double-helix. it's coded by order of the groups CH3, H-bond donor, H-bond acceptor and H, which is different for each combination of base pairs. (you obviously must know the 5´-> 3´ ordering either.) grooves are usefull to be recognized with lot of DNA - protein links structures, like helix-turn-helix pattern, or zinc fingers, which are bonding to the grooves.


What impact did polymerase chain reaction have on DNA research?

A lot, imagine only with the PCR you can synthesis, whatever DNA/gene you want!

Do mutations happen a lot?

Statistically speaking, the fidelity of DNA polymerases is very high and they usually make 1 mistake for every 1000000000 base pairs that they add to a growing DNA strand. However, there are many external methods of inducing mutations, most notably by chemicals and radiation. Therefore it is estimated that the genomic DNA mutation rate per generation for humans is one in 40000000 base pairs. However, human mitochondrial DNA curiously carries a much higher mutation rate per generation of about 1 in 37000 to 1 in 333000 base pairs. For the mutation rates of other organisms, follow the link below.

How does DNA hold information?

The DNA molecule contains a lot of chemical structures that "tell" the ribosomes how to create new proteins (that have a lot of functions). Ribosomes which are small grains situated in the cytoplasm understand the message that is brought to them from the nucleus by the "messager RNA molecule" and with the help of "Transport RNA molecule" they produce proteins.Afterwards proteins do all the work


Does oranges have a lot of DNA?

I think that the answer is no. An orange may have a little DNA, from the tree that it is growing on, but it doesn't have DNA that is its own.

How do you split Na-Cl?

you need a lot of heat to split sodium chloride, as the bond between them is very strong. im not sure at which temperature they split
