Assuming each base is in equal amounts, the answer is 65,536.

There are four bases possible for each spot. So that means there are 4 choices in the first spot, 4 in the second, 4 in the third, etc. You multiply each spot: 4 × 4 × 4 ••• 4 all the way to eight. To simplify, 48 or 65,536.

How many 4-element DNA sequences a do not contain the base T?

A 4-element DNA sequence can consist of the bases A, C, G, and T. If we exclude T, we are left with three bases: A, C, and G. Therefore, the total number of 4-element DNA sequences that do not contain T is (3^4 = 81).

How many different rna sequences specify the amino acid histidine?

Histidine is specified by three different RNA codons: UAC and UAU. These codons correspond to the mRNA sequences that translate to the amino acid histidine during protein synthesis. Therefore, there are two distinct RNA sequences that can code for histidine, reflecting the redundancy of the genetic code.

How many amino acid sequences can be made from four amino acids?

There are 20 common amino acids (pre-modification). In a set of any four, each one could be one of 20, meaning there are 204 possible combinations: 160,000. If the question was meant to be "how many amino acids can be made from 4 triplet codons then the answer would still be exactly the same. Even though there are 4 bases, meaning there are 64 different codes possible, there are still only 20 amino acids available. If the question was meant to be "how many amino acids can be made from 4 bases" you can only make one (which could be any of 20 different residues), as you need three bases to code one amino acid. See the related question below for a listing of the types of amino acids.

Why are genes distinguished by bases but not by the sugar-phosphate backbone?

The base sequence is what makes one gene different from another. There are four bases which can be arranged in many different sequences. The sugar phosphate backbone is the same in all the genes. It is impossible to identify a gene by this.
