    MOLECULAR BASIS OF INHERITANCE

    DIFFERENTIATED TASK 1
    Challenge 1

    1. y In an experiment, DNA is treated with a compound which tends to place itself amongst
    the stacks of nitrogenous base pairs. As a result of which the distance between two
    consecutive base increases, from 0.34nm to 0.44 nm. Calculate the length of DNA double
    helix (which has 2x109 bp) in the presence of saturating amount of this compound.

    Challenge 2

    2. Calculate the length of the DNA of a bacteriophage lambda that has 48502 bps.

    Challenge 3:

    3. A DNA segment has a total of 1500 nucleotides, out of which 410 are Guanine containing
    nucleotides. How many pyrimidines bases does this DNA segment possess?
