Because there are four different monomer building blocks that can be used to assemble RNA polymers, the number of possible sequence combinations that can be created for an RNA molecule made of 100 nucleotides is

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are four different nucleotide building blocks that can be used to create RNA polymers: Adenine (A), Uracil (U), Guanine (G), and Cytosine (C). For each position in a 100-nucleotide RNA molecule, there are four possible nucleotides that could be present. Therefore, the total number of possible sequence combinations is 4^100, or approximately 1.606 x 10^60. Choice B is the closest answer to this, with the correct number of nucleotides and the inclusion of all four possible building blocks. None of the other answer choices accurately represents the number of possible sequence combinations.
