The correct Answer is:
To find the frequency of occurrence of the palindromic sequence recognized by Eco RI (which is G-A-A-T-T-C), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Palindromic Sequence**: The palindromic sequence recognized by Eco RI is G-A-A-T-T-C. This sequence consists of 6 nucleotides. 2. **Understand the Probability of Each Base**: In a random DNA sequence, the four nucleotide bases (A, T, G, C) are assumed to occur with equal probability. Therefore, the probability of each base appearing at any position is: - P(A) = 1/4 - P(T) = 1/4 - P(G) = 1/4 - P(C) = 1/4 3. **Calculate the Probability of the Entire Sequence**: Since the bases are independent of each other, the probability of the entire sequence (G-A-A-T-T-C) occurring can be calculated by multiplying the probabilities of each base: - Probability of G = 1/4 - Probability of A = 1/4 - Probability of A = 1/4 - Probability of T = 1/4 - Probability of T = 1/4 - Probability of C = 1/4 Therefore, the probability of the sequence G-A-A-T-T-C is: \[ P(G-A-A-T-T-C) = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^6 = \frac{1}{4^6} \] 4. **Calculate 4^6**: - \( 4^6 = 4096 \) 5. **Final Probability**: Thus, the probability of the sequence G-A-A-T-T-C occurring is: \[ P(G-A-A-T-T-C) = \frac{1}{4096} \] 6. **Interpretation**: This means that in a random DNA sequence of 4096 bases, we expect to find the sequence G-A-A-T-T-C once. ### Conclusion: The frequency of occurrence of the palindromic sequence recognized by Eco RI is 1 in 4096 nucleotides.
