One complete turn of the double helix of DNA contains 10 pairs of bases and is 3.4 nm long What is the approximate length of the DNA coding sequence of lysozyme a protein of 129 amino acids?

Well, we would have to know how many % of the coding sequence would be exons and introns, but let's ignore this and assume 100% of the sequence are exons;
129 aminoacids = 129 codons = 129*3 nucleotides = 387 nucleotides.
10 pairs of bases = 3,4 nm;
387/10 = 38,7
38,7 * 3,4 = 131,58 nm.

In what sequence do electrons fill the atomic orbitals related to a sub level?
Each orbital must contain a single electron before any orbital contains two electrons.
Difference between kozak sequence and Shine-Dalgarno sequence?
The Shine-Dalgarno sequence is prokaryotic. The Kozak sequence is the eukaryotic equivalent.
What is directly responsible for the sequence of amino acids in a protein?
The sequence of codons in mRNA, or messenger RNA, is most directly responsible for the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Each codon is comprised of 3 nucleotides.
How does amino acid sequence compare?
An amino acid sequence can be compared by using an electron microscope. The sequence of one acid can be viewed and then directly compared to another.
How do you verify that a given sequence is an AP by paper cutting and pasting method?
Verify given sequence in ap
What happens if a sequence isn't completed?
The sequence needs to be complete or nothing will happen.
What mathematical sequence that contains an equals sign is?
Equation
What feature in a cell containthe DNA sequence to make a specific protein?
gene
What is the number which completes sequence 15 17 53 161?
379, but it does not complete the sequence which is infinite.
How do you know if you are looking at a DNA or RNA sequence?
DNA sequences contain the nitrogen bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. RNA sequences contain the nitrogen bases adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine. If the sequence contains thymine it is a DNA sequence if it contains uracil it is an RNA sequence.
What is the number which best complete this sequence 2 9 5 13 10 19 17?
27 BUT, as far as I can tell, it does not complete the sequence which can continue further.
When did Leonardo Fibonacci find the Fibionacci sequence?
His treatise, Liber abaci (1202), contains the famous Fibonacci sequence.
Which state contains the letters sequence ento?
Sacramento, California.
What is the complete DNA sequence of humans called?

Complete this sequence 12436871416?
12436871416 is a single 11-digit number. A single number does not define a sequence.
Why set of rational numbers is not complete?
Consider the sequence (a_i) where a_i is pi rounded to the i_th decimal place. This sequence clearly contains only rational numbers since every number in it has a finite decimal expansion. Furthermore this sequence is Cauchy since a_i and a_j can differ at most by 10^(-min(i,j)) or something which can be made arbitrarily small by choosing a lower bound for i and j. Now note that this sequence converges to pi in the reals, so it can not converge in the set of rational numbers. Therefore the rational numbers allow a non-convergent Cauchy sequence and are thus by definition not complete.
