- Why is the AT base pair less stable than the GC base pair?arrow_forwardThe four nucleotides A,T,C,G are shuffled in a random order and put in a row. How many possible orderings are there? Now there are six nucleotides: A,A,C,C,C,C and they are shuffled and put into a row. How many possible orderings are there?arrow_forwardPermutation is the ordered arrangement of m number items out of a list of n items. For instance, the DNA strand with sequence of 3 bases: G-A-C IS different w ith A-G-C, C-A-G, G-C-A, A-C-G, and C-G-A. From this, we have: P-3) 3! 3x2x1 Therefore, there are 6 dıfferent sequences of DNA strands that can be formed out of 3 given bases. In general, we have this formula for permutation: (n-m)!
