1) Say you have an organism with a genome of 1 thousand bases (103) and a forward primer made up of 5 nucleotides (aka, a 5-mer)   a)How many possible 5-mers are there? Remember that each position in the 5-mer has one of four nucleotides.   b) Pick a 5-nucleotide position at random in the genome: what’s the probability that your forward primer matches there? Focus for now just on one strand of DNA.    c) Pick a random 5-nucleotide position in the genome: what’s the probability that your forward primer does NOT match there? Focus for now just on one strand of DNA.    d) How many physical locations might your forward primer sit in the genome? Focus just on one strand of DNA. Ignore whether or not it matches at a given location. this is one question with different parts. I would really appreciate it if all parts are answered. and I will defiantly rate.

1) Say you have an organism with a genome of 1 thousand bases (103) and a forward primer made up of 5 nucleotides (aka, a 5-mer)

 

a)How many possible 5-mers are there? Remember that each position in the 5-mer has one of four nucleotides.

 

b) Pick a 5-nucleotide position at random in the genome: what’s the probability that your forward primer matches there? Focus for now just on one strand of DNA.

  

c) Pick a random 5-nucleotide position in the genome: what’s the probability that your forward primer does NOT match there? Focus for now just on one strand of DNA.

  

d) How many physical locations might your forward primer sit in the genome? Focus just on one strand of DNA. Ignore whether or not it matches at a given location.

this is one question with different parts. I would really appreciate it if all parts are answered. and I will defiantly rate.
