The information in DNA Is coded in chemical bases adenosine (A) guanine (G) cytosine (C), and thymine (T) We can represent a DNA strand by stringing together the letters representing the appropriate strand. Imagine we are given a list of DNA strands which have arbitrary lengths. Write a single function strand_counter() which takes a list of DNA strands, counts the lengths of each of the words in the list and then calculates and returns the integer maximum_length integer minimum_length, and float average_length Then write a program which takes in a user-chosen number of strands of arbitrary length as an input and prints out the calculated information
Example input
5
AT
ATCGTCOGGT
TCGCT
TCGATTCCT
TTCATCG
Example output
The longest strand has length 10.
The shortest strand has length 2.
The average length of the strands is 6.6.
