- What’s a genome?arrow_forwardBeadle and Tatum's experiments led to the "one gene - one enzyme (protein)" hypothesis. In subsequent years, many exceptions to this hypothesis were noted. A molecule of hemoglobin fails to support this hypothesis for which of the following reasons? n eukaryotes, one gene can code form multiple isoforms of a polypeptide. The functional hemoglobin protein is made from multiple polypeptides. Not all enzymes are proteins. Not all genes encode proteins.arrow_forwardIf RNA were the universal genetic material, how would this have affected the Avery experiment and the Hershey–Chase experiment?arrow_forward
- Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that integrates knowledge of computer science with mathematics and statistics to solve biological questions. Many bioinformatics tools for gene prediction, homology modelling and such are available free online. (1) What does BLAST stand for? (ii) Explain the function of BLAST.arrow_forwardGiven the state of knowledge at the time of the Avery, MacLeod,and McCarty experiment, why was it difficult for some scientiststo accept that DNA is the carrier of genetic information?arrow_forwardWhat does 'biological sequence database' refer to?arrow_forward
- Your advisor, a brilliant bioinformatician, has high regard for your intellect and industry. she suggests that you write a computer program that will identify the exons of protein- coding genes directly from the sequence of the human genome. In preparation for that task, you decide to write down a list of the features that might distinguish protein- coding sequences from intronic DNA and from other sequences in the genome. What features would you list?arrow_forwardWhat is a gene? Provide at least two different definitions and explain.arrow_forwardDescribe how Beadle and Tatum’s experiments connected certain genes to enzymes and proteins.arrow_forward
