Question

Assume that the "letters" of DNA are distributed randomly and that human DNA has 3 billion base pairs. About how long would you expect the average DNA segment created by a six cutter to to be?

6 base pairs
64 base pairs
1,024 base pairs
4,096 base pairs

Answer 1

one that recognizes a 2 base pair sequence would cut DDNA every 16 bases. A 3 base pair recognition site would be found every 64 bases.
