Question 1177157: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is made from a sequence of four nucleotides (A, T, G, or C).
Suppose a region of DNA is 40 nucleotides long. How many possible nucleotide sequences
are there in this region of DNA ?
Thank u Answer by ikleyn(52803) (Show Source):
It is the same as to ask
How many words of the length 40 can be made using 4 letters A, T, G or C.
We have 4 independent opportunities in every of 40 positions,
so the answer is = possible nucleotide sequences.
