Problem Set 6 - Problems on Gene Expression/Repair and Protein Synthesis/Degradation (3problems):
16. The DNA in a human non-gametic cell contains 6 billion base pairs. It is estimated thatabout 10,000 DNA changes occur in each cell in one day. These are quickly repaired so thatonly a few (1 to 5) mutations accumulate in one cell in a year.
a. What percentage of the base pairs are altered each day?
b. What percentage of the DNA changes that occur in one cell in one year escapethe proofreading and repair process – calculate this in both cases: if 1 mutationaccumulates in one cell per year, and if 5 mutations accumulate in one cell peryear?
