What does six gene pairs mean?

Genes usually come in pairs because an organism can inherit a given gene from both parents. Six genes is not a lot, that would be a small portion of a genome.


What does a long sequence of base pairs code for?

Coding DNA is DNA that "codes" for protein creation. DNA is NOT strictly speaking a code however, it's more like a 3D reverse template for the protein. The component chemicals coalesce from the cell's plasma against the coding DNA much like a lot of non-biological catalyzation. When the protein is completed it peels off and does whatever that protein does.By contrast, non-coding DNA functions in ways other than direct protein synthesis. Some of these functions are being learned, but others are currently unknown. And it is likely that some of the non-coding sections of DNA are "Junk" DNA, ie DNA that does literally nothing.Junk DNA and non-coding DNA often mutate much faster than coding DNA for the simple reason that mutations in coding DNA are usually fatal.


Why thymus tissue are used in DNA extraction?

It is usually done to obtain genes for antibodies.


What are major groove and minor groove of DNA?

well, it's quite useful when enzymes supposed to do something with DNA are searching for the "starting sequence". in major groove, you can always recognize the base pairs without unwinding the double-helix. it's coded by order of the groups CH3, H-bond donor, H-bond acceptor and H, which is different for each combination of base pairs. (you obviously must know the 5´-> 3´ ordering either.) grooves are usefull to be recognized with lot of DNA - protein links structures, like helix-turn-helix pattern, or zinc fingers, which are bonding to the grooves.


What impact did polymerase chain reaction have on DNA research?

A lot, imagine only with the PCR you can synthesis, whatever DNA/gene you want!

Do mutations happen a lot?

Statistically speaking, the fidelity of DNA polymerases is very high and they usually make 1 mistake for every 1000000000 base pairs that they add to a growing DNA strand. However, there are many external methods of inducing mutations, most notably by chemicals and radiation. Therefore it is estimated that the genomic DNA mutation rate per generation for humans is one in 40000000 base pairs. However, human mitochondrial DNA curiously carries a much higher mutation rate per generation of about 1 in 37000 to 1 in 333000 base pairs. For the mutation rates of other organisms, follow the link below.

Did president Chester A Arthur own a lot of pairs of pants?

President Chester Arthur owned approximately 108 pairs of paints.


Does oranges have a lot of DNA?

I think that the answer is no. An orange may have a little DNA, from the tree that it is growing on, but it doesn't have DNA that is its own.

How does the DNA of humans and the DNA of animals compare?

They have the same nucleotides (A, T, C, G) and structure (double helix and chromosomes), and have a lot of the same genes, but a lot of genes differ, also.
