To determine the length of the DNA coding sequence for a protein, we need to consider that each amino acid is coded for by three nucleotide bases (a codon). Since lysozyme has 129 amino acids, the DNA coding sequence will be 129 * 3 = 387 nucleotide bases long. Given that one complete turn of the DNA double helix contains 10 base pairs and is 3.4 nm long, we can calculate the length of the DNA coding sequence for lysozyme by dividing the total number of bases by the number of base pairs per turn: 387 bases / 10 base pairs = 38.7 turns. Multiplying this by the length of one turn (3.4 nm) gives us the approximate length of the DNA coding sequence for lysozyme, which is 38.7 turns * 3.4 nm/turn = 131.58 nm.

How many nucleotides are present in the DNA sequence?
The number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence can vary, but in general, a human DNA molecule contains about 3 billion nucleotides.
A single RNA molecule contains many?
nucleotides that are arranged in a specific sequence. This sequence determines the genetic information encoded in the RNA molecule, which can be involved in various cellular functions such as protein synthesis, regulation, and signaling.
What is directly responsible for the sequence of amino acids in a protein?
The sequence of amino acids in a protein is directly determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene that codes for that protein. This process occurs during protein synthesis, where the genetic information is transcribed from DNA to mRNA and then translated into a specific sequence of amino acids.
Difference between kozak sequence and Shine-Dalgarno sequence?
The Kozak sequence is a short sequence surrounding the start codon in eukaryotic mRNA that helps in the initiation of translation. The Shine-Dalgarno sequence is a purine-rich sequence in bacterial mRNA that helps in ribosome binding and initiation of translation by base pairing with the 16S rRNA in the small ribosomal subunit. Both sequences play crucial roles in initiating protein synthesis in their respective organisms.
Why is it so important that the order of base pairs stays the same?
The sequence of the nitrogen bases determines the sequence of the amino acids in a protein. The sequence of the amino acids in a protein determines the structure and function of the protein. If there is a change in the order of nitrogen bases, the sequence of amino acids may be altered, and the protein may not be functional, causing a genetic disorder.
What mathematical sequence that contains an equals sign is?
Equation
Does mRNA contain uracil or thymine in its nucleotide sequence?
mRNA contains uracil in its nucleotide sequence, not thymine.
What is the number which completes sequence 15 17 53 161?
379, but it does not complete the sequence which is infinite.
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.

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.
What is a complete list of nucleotide sequence in a individuals chromosome?
It is not possible to provide a complete list of nucleotide sequences on an individual's chromosome in a single answer, as each chromosome contains millions of nucleotides. The human genome has over 3 billion base pairs, which make up the DNA on 23 pairs of chromosomes. The sequence can vary between individuals due to genetic variations.
Which state capital contains the letter sequence ENTO?
Sacramento, California.
