Yes I thinks it says how many possible triplet bases we could have from these bases? Each triplet bases equal to one aminoacid so the number of different triplet
bases will equal to number of aminoacids
I am not getting
can you give me screenshot plz!

A T G C these are base pairs.
DNA is helical in structure and it formed from 1) Ribose sugar 2)Phosphate group 3) Base pair ( A T G C) .Overall you can say the strand is made up of Nucleotide.

The DNA strands are antiparallel.
There are 10 base pairs one helical turn. (Here the base pairs are bonded to one another i.e A=T and G triple bond to C)
The distance between two base pairs is 3.4 Augustan.
Diameter is 20 Augustan.
Distance between 10 base pairs is 34 Augustan.

No it has nothing to do with diameter you must work out the number of aminoacids you can get from a number of triplet bases
as each triplet base codes for one aminoacid

Hi everyone, assalamoalaikum!! :)

To get things organized in a better way, I am making this thread. As othewise, some queries remain unanswered!

So post your A LEVEL BIOLOGY doubts in this thread. InshaAllah those who can , will help me and you all. :D ;)

Will try to update this soon, by adding links to some Biology Notes & Links around the forum.

Thanks!
Jazak Allah Khair!

In paper 3 when we have to plot a graph is it a must the x-axis starts with 0 like igcse bcuz this markscheme shows the axis starting with 5

http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Biology (9700)/9700_w08_ms_31.pdf

Qs 1)b)ii)

Also hw is the mean in Qs 1)b)i) 85
my answer is 77

Qs paper:
http://papers.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Cambridge International A and AS Level/Biology (9700)/9700_w08_qp_31.pdf
Well it can start with 5 but there should Z on x axis. Remember in Maths of IGCSE!
And yeah that 85 is wrong answer in mark scheme.
It is 77.2
Sometimes there are mistakes in the markschemes. :)
