Question

Assume that: • there are approximately 3,000,000,000 base pairs in the mammalian genome (genes constitute only a small portion of this total) • there are approximately 10,000 genes in the mammalian genome • a single gene averages about 10,000 base pairs in size Questions 1. Based on the assumptions above, in the mammalian genome, how many total base pairs are in all the mammalian genes? Show your math (2 pts). 2. What percentage (%) of the total genome does this represent? Show your math (2 pts). 3. What is the chance (%) that a random mutation will occur in any given gene? Show your mat

Answer 2

Which do you think it is? Why or why not? It would be easier to tutor you if you explained what about the question is giving you trouble.
