Two cultures of bacteria make chain A and chain B of insulin. You will count the insulin that they give, say which chain limits it, and work out how many bases of DNA the genes need.
The idea. One A chain and one B chain make one insulin molecule. A gene needs bases for each amino acid and more for the stop codon.
Your tasks.
insulin_made. It gives the number of molecules that can form.limiting. It gives "A" if the A chains are fewer, "B" if the B chains are fewer, and "equal" if the numbers are equal.bases_needed. It gives the bases of one gene for a chain of amino_acids amino acids, with its stop codon.Have you tried it?
Do the tasks in the editor first, and run the checker after each one. Its hints help when a check fails. When you are ready, compare your code with this solution.
