Suppose you fly to an alien world and are surprised to find that life there follows the same central dogma. The difference is that the alien life has 2 distinct nucleotides that make up DNA sequences and a whopping 600 distinct amino acids that make up protein sequences.
What is the minimum length of each codon in this alien species?
Suppose you fly to an alien world and are surprised to find that life there follows the same central dogma. The difference is that the alien life has 2 distinct nucleotides that make up DNA sequences and a whopping 600 distinct amino acids that make up protein sequences.\ What is the minimum length of each codon in this alien species? What is the probability that a 4-length path between two nodes in a graph is colorful (i.e., all the vertices in the path get a unique color), when each node in the graph is assigned one of 4 colors uniformly and independently at random?\ (Note: Path length is measured as number of nodes in a path.) According to the central dogma of molecular biology, what is the direction of information flow within a cell?
