- Lena sequences DNA from two extremophile strains. Strain A has 4.2 million base pairs, and Strain B has 30% more. What is the total number of base pairs in both strains?
- Strain B = 4.2 million × 1.30 = <<4.2*1.3=5.46>>5.46 million
- Total = 4.2 + 5.46 = <<4.2+5.46=9.66>>9.66 million base pairs
- A research drone descends in stages into a vent at 3,600 meters. It goes down 1/4 of the depth, then 2/5 of the remaining, then 1/3 of what’s left. How many meters has it descended after all three stages?
- First: 1/4 × 3600 = <<3600/4=900>>900 m → remaining: 2700 m
- Second: 2/5 × 2700 = <<2/5*2700=1080>>1080 m → remaining: 1620 m
