- The Human Genome Project has demonstrated that in humans of all races and nationalities approximately 99.9 percent of the sequence is the same, yet different individuals can be identified by DNA fingerprinting techniques. What is one primary variation in the human genome that can be used to distinguish different individuals? Briefly explain your answer.arrow_forwardBioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that integrates computer science with mathematics and statistics to solve biological questions. Many bioinformatic tools for gene prediction, homology modelling and such are available free online. State the functions of CLUSTAL W, BLAST and GLIDE (Schrödinger).arrow_forwardUse the simple flow chart below to outline the basic procedure of genetic engineering in six steps make sure that your answers are in form of short sentences or clauses with complete thoughtarrow_forward
- What are two common applications of DNA fingerprinting?arrow_forwardA genome is an organism's complete set of complete set of DNA, including all of its genes. Each genome contains all of the information needed to build and maintain the organism. With the advancements made in genetic testing where we can now reveal a person's entire genome, what are three positive and three negative effects to society?arrow_forwardBioinformatics is the science of using computational methods (specialized software) to decipher the biological meaning of information contained within organismal system. Comparisons of experimental data involving DNA sequences generated by different laboratories are critically dependent on the use of a universally agreed-upon standard of analysis. Which of the following is universally used as the agreed-upon standard of analysis for these comparisons? Group of answer choices A GenBank database. A species reference sequence (RefSeq) system. A genomic library collection. A ChIP/chip analysis system.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is FALSE of functional genomics? Select ALL that apply. RNA seq is a functional genomics approach CHIP seq is a functional genomics approach It seeks to elucidate the roles of genetic sequences of a given species Was invented by Carey Mullis Seeks to edit the DNA sequence of the organism Artificial selection is a functional genomics approacharrow_forwardMolecular biologists rely on many, often sophisticated, techniques to pursue their discipline. One may list ultracentrifugation, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electrophoresis, and computer interfacing as fundamental tools. Model organisms provide the raw materials for study. List three "organisms" (or organismic groups) often used by recombinant DNA technologists and describe a major advantage of each group.arrow_forwardMany forms of biometric technology are available today,but the majority of them can be split into two differentgroups. The first group is________ biometrics,which contains fingerprints, hand, iris, retina, and facialscans. The second group is__________ biometrics,which is much less stable and includes handwriting,voice, keystroke, and gait recognition.arrow_forward
