It depends. If DNA is 50% AT and 50 % GC then the probability is that 4 base pairs will cut more frequently than 6 base pair cutters (the longer the piece of DNA the more probable). However, several caveats: 1) Depends on the recognition site of enzyme (may favor cutting at AT or GC rich regions). 2) Depends on the source of DNA which can vary significantly in GC content. An example of an exception, a 6 cutter recognizing a sequence composed only of A and Ts, cutting DNA of 36% GC content is predicted to cut approximately equally as frequently as a 4-base cutter that recognizes a 4 base sequence composed only of G and Cs (cutting the same 36% GC DNA).

Which fragment of DNA is the longest or biggest?

The fragment of the DNA that is the longest is the one that is the slowest to get to the bottom of the gel in the body. This is because longer DNA are simply the largest base pairs that are digested in the restriction enzymes which make them slower then the shorter ones.


A dna fragment with a sticky end that reads -attcg will bind with another dna fragment with a sticky end that reads?

ATTCG signify adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). The bonding pairs are AT, GC when DNA replicates. Therefore the fragment ATTCG will bind to TAAGC.


A fragment of a strand of nucleic acid isolated from a silk moth species contains the base sequence CAGACT The strand must be from?

The base sequence CAGACT corresponds to the DNA strand, and it would be complementary to the RNA strand with the sequence GUCUGA. Therefore, the original strand is the DNA strand.


Where are nectar found on which flower sex part stigma or anther?

Nectar can be found at the base of the petals or in nectaries located at various parts of the flower, including the base of the pistil (female part) or the base of the stamen (male part). It is produced by glands either within the floral parts or nearby.


Explain why the addition of an extra base in a DNA sequence would change the message carried by a DNA molecule?

The addition of an extra base in a DNA sequence would cause a frameshift mutation, shifting the reading frame of the genetic code. This would alter the codons specifying amino acids in the protein sequence, leading to a different protein being produced.

Will your D1S80 fragments be separated by gel electrophoresis if you have a 200 base pair and a 400 base pair?

Yes, gel electrophoresis separates fragments based on their size. Therefore it will be able to separate a 200bp fragment from a 400bp fragment provided you use the correct gel composition (as this affects the sensitivity to size differences).
