Although DNA transposons are abundant in the genomes of multicellular eukaryotes, class 1 elements usually make up the largest fraction of very large genomessuch as those from humans (~2500 Mb), maize (~2500Mb), and barley (~5000 Mb). Given what you knowabout class 1 and class 2 elements, what is it about theirdistinct mechanisms of transposition that would accountfor this consistent difference in abundance?
An interesting trait that some bacteria exhibit is resistance to beingkilled by antibiotics. For example, certain strains of bacteria areresistant to tetracycline, whereas other strains are sensitive to tetracycline.Describe an experiment you would carry out to demonstratethat tetracycline resistance is an inherited trait encoded bythe DNA of the resistant strain.
Give two different reasons for the much higher ratioof total DNA to protein-encoding DNA in the humangenome as compared to bacterial genomes.
Scientists are interested in cloning an extinct animal called the gastricbrooding frog. This strange frog swallows its eggs and broods itsyoung within its stomach. So far, scientists have successfully usedcloning to make an embryo of the frog, but they have yet to raise oneto maturity. What steps might the scientists have used to clone thisextinct species? Why was it important for scientists to determinebefore the experiments that the great barred frog is a close relative tothe gastric brooding frog?
Geneticists are currently considering using technologies described in this chapter to de-extinct thewoolly mammoth, a species that disappearedroughly 4000 years ago.a. Frozen specimens of woolly mammoths have beenfound in the Siberian tundra. If intact, living cellscould be obtained from these samples, how couldyou attempt to bring back these long-extinct animals using these cells and oocytes from Asian elephants, a closely related species? b. Scientists have determined the genome sequence ofthe mammoth from frozen samples. These researchers are now trying to understand the adaptations that allowed these creatures to surviveextreme cold. For example, mammoths had muchthicker hair than do any elephants. How in theorycould you use CRISPR/Cas9 to investigate thegenetic basis of the difference in hair thicknessbetween mammoths and elephants?c. How (again in theory) might it be possible to extend the CRISPR/Cas9 technique to de-extinct themammoth? What kinds of technical challenges…

Whole-exome sequencing (WES) is helping physicians diagnosea genetic condition that has defied diagnosis by traditionalmeans. The implication here is that exons in the nucleargenome are sequenced in the hopes that, by comparison withthe genomes of nonaffected individuals, a diagnosis might berevealed.

You know from your calculationsthat only a small proportion of the human genome is represented, even when the entire class results areconsidered. Therefore, the chance of finding a particular single-copy gene in your library is very small.Outline a strategy for constructing a genomic DNA library more representative of the entire humangenome. You will need to consider alternative vectors and the efficiency of transformation of thebacterial cells.
