Analysis of a bacterial gene indicates that 24% of the nucleotides in the coding strand contain the base a, 18% contain the base t, 26% contain the base g, and 32% contain the base c. what percent of the nucleotides in the mrna transcribed from this gene will contain the base u? (enter your answer as a number only without the percent sign, e. g. enter 5, not 5%.)

Part a - which gene to compare? in this exercise, you will use the cytochrome c oxidase i (coi) gene to investigate relationships among salmon species. (this gene encodes a protein that functions in the mitochondrial electron transport chain.) you will compare the coi gene sequences from your salmon test samples to the standard sequences for each salmon species. in order for the coi gene to be useful for distinguishing among the different salmon species, which three statements must be true?
