A single-stranded DNA molecule contains 40 nucleotides with equal amounts of A, C, G, and T. This DNA strand can combine with a complementary DNA strand to form a double-stranded DNA molecule. Which is a possible sequence and structure for this DNA molecule?

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology

  1. If the single-stranded molecule has the sequence 5’-(ATGC)10, then its double- stranded form could assume a Z-DNA structure.

  2. If the single-stranded molecule has the sequence 5’-(GATC)10, then its double-stranded form could assume an H-DNA structure.

  3. If the single-stranded molecule has the sequence 5’-(CTGA)10, then its double-stranded form could assume a hairpin structure.

  4. If the single-stranded molecule has the sequence 5’-(TGAC)10, then its double-stranded form could assume a cruciform structure.

In this pedigree I 1 and II 2 have Becker muscular dystrophy which shows X-linked recessive inheritance. III 2 has oculocutaneous albinism which shows autosomal recessive inheritance with an incidence in the general population of 1 in 10 000. The disease status for both Becker muscular dystrophy and oculocutaneous albinism is unknown for IV 1 and IV 2.
What is the probability that III 3 is a carrier of Becker muscular dystrophy?
