Question
For the following, use the digit sequence: CTAG which map to values 0123. Lets call this "DNA format". Convert ACT to base ten. Convert ATTGC to base ten. Convert TTAA to base ten. Convert 1234 base ten to DNA format. Convert 20 base ten to DNA format. Look up the 4 codons for the amino acid alanine and convert them to base ten. Explain how to group a binary string so that it can be easily converted to DNA format. Give an example. COLORS: For the following, use the color sequence: RED, BLUE, GREEN which map to values 012. Lets call this "color code" What is 1234 decimal in color code? Explain how yellow would be represented in this color code? What is your favorite color, in this color code?Explanation / Answer
DNA:
Given that CTAG is 0123.
So
C -> 0 -> 00
T -> 1 -> 01
A -> 2 -> 10
G -> 3 -> 11
19) ACT, we know A is 10, C is 00 and T is 01. So ACT in base 2 is 100001.100001 in base ten is 1+0+0+0+0+32=33.
20) ATTGC, we know A is 10, C is 00, G is 11 and T is 01. So ATTGC is 1001011100.1001011100 in base ten is 0+0+4+8+16+0+64+0+0+512=604.
21)TTAA, we know A is 10 and T is 01. So TTAA is 01011010 in base 2. 01011010 in base 10 is 0+2+0+8+16+0+64+0 = 90.
22)1234 in base two is 10011010010. In 10011010010, we have odd digits so we add a zero in the beginning. 010011010010 in DNA encoding is 01 -> T, 00->C, 11-> G, 01-> T, 00 -> C, 10->A. So 1234 in DNA encoding is TCGTCA.
23) 20 in base two is 10100. In 10100, we have odd digits so we add a zero in the beginning. 010100 in DNA encoding is 01 -> T,01 -> T, and 00->C. So 20 in DNA encoding is TTC.
