You are a scientist who is using genomics to currently study a new bacterial species that no one has ever studied before. The following sequence is a piece of DNA within the coding region of a gene that you have recently sequenced.
 
If you take any bacterial gene sequence, before you begin doing any sequence analysis on it, there are six potential open reading frames. Why are there six?

#Unit 13. Methods in Biology
  1. There are 3 reading frames on each of two strands, because the top strand looked like the mRNA, then the reading frame could start with a CCC, a CCG, or a CGT and If the bottom strand looked like the mRNA, then the reading frame could start with a TGT, a GTT, or a TTC.
  2. There are 6 reading frames on each of two strands because the strand look like the mRNA, then the reading frame could start with a CCC, a CCG, a CGT, a GTA, TAC or a ACG.
  3. There are 3 reading frame only on the top of the strand looked like the mRNA, then the reading frame could start with a CCC, a CCG, or a CGT.
  4. There are 3 reading frames on each of two strands, because the top strand looked like the mRNA, then the reading frame could start with a CCC, a CCG, or a CGT and If the bottom strand looked like the mRNA, then the reading frame could start with a GGG, a GGC, or a GCA.

Expansins belong to a large superfamily of proteins, divided into two major expansin families, α-expansins (EXPAs) and β-expansins (EXPBs), what is the function of these two?
a) EXPAs are more active on eudicot cell walls, whereas EXPBs are more active on grass cell walls
b) EXPAs are more active on grass cell walls, whereas EXPBs are more active on eudicot cell walls
c) EXPAs loosen cellulose–cellulose junctions containing xyloglucan, whereas EXPBs loosen wall complexes containing GAX
d) EXPAs loosen wall complexes containing GAX, whereas EXPBs loosen cellulose–cellulose junctions containing xyloglucan
Which combination is correct from some given above functions of expansins,?
