Yes. This can happen via a gene duplication in a single organism or by shear coincidence (though its increasingly unlikely the biggest the sequence in question).

Identical sequences can happen across species due to heredity from a common ancestor of a common gene or genetic marker, such as we see in ERVs and analysis from computational genomics.

What genes code for the same character?

The genetic codeThe genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded within genetic material (DNA or mRNA sequences) is translated intoproteins (amino acid sequences) by living cellsThose genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid.Each nucleotide sub-unit consists of a phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and one of the 4 nitrogenous nucleotide bases.


How does each new nucleotide chain compare to the one on which it was formed?

The nucleotide sequences in the two chains of a DNA molecule are complementary.This means that A (adenine) in one chain always binds to T (thymine) in the other, and C (cytosine) always binds to G (guanine).So if the sequence in one chain is:AATCTGGAthe complementary sequence in the other chain will be:TTAGACCT

Quantifier sequences Do the following two statements mean the same thing?

To determine if the following two statements mean the same thing, you would need to offer the quantifier sequences. Then, you could compare the sequences to determine if they are the same.


What types of DNA do scientists use to determine individual identities of organisms within the same species?

Scientists use genetic markers such as microsatellites or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA to determine individual identities of organisms within the same species. These markers show variations in DNA sequences that can be used to distinguish one individual from another.

Is nucleus smaller than atom?

An atom comprises an atomic nucleus with orbiting electrons. So the nucleus is smaller than an atom. To phrase it the opposite way, an atom is alwys larger than the nucleus (of the same atom of course!!)


Are number sequences the same as number patterns?

Yes.


Is a trna anticodon more similar to DNA or RNA in nucleotide sequence?

A tRNA anticodon is more similar to RNA in nucleotide sequence because tRNA is a type of RNA molecule that carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. Anticodons are sequences of three nucleotides on tRNA molecules that are complementary to specific codons on mRNA. Since tRNA is part of the RNA family, its nucleotide sequence is more similar to RNA than DNA.
