Question

A certain gene in a chromosome has the following sequence of nucleotides:

ACC TTA GGC CCT TCA

How many nucleotides are in the gene?

Answer 1

30

Step-by-step explanation:

A gene is a portion of DNA, in this portion we have 15 nucleotides, but you must know that DNA is composed of two strands, so these 15 nucleotides are present on one strand and their corresponding nucleotides are present on the second strand so the total number of nucleotides equals 15x2=30.
