Chapter 21, Problem 7TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Genome is defined as the complete genetic material that is present in an organism. It consists of the coding as well as the non-coding parts of DNA. The study of the genome on a large-scale is termed as genomics. This study of the genome is highly important as it provides valuable information about the organism.

The existence of ubiquitous genes and proteins (performs the same function in all organisms) strongly support the theory that all life evolved from a common ancestor. With that in mind, what kind of genes might be evolutionarily conserved and universally found in bacteria, plants and animals?
Select one:
a. genes that code for the synthesis of ribosomes.
b. genes that code for the enzymes of glucose metabolism
c. genes that code for the synthesis DNA and RNA polymerase
d. all of the above.
Clear my choice
The Selfish Gene is a radical theory that argues that all living creatures are essentially vehicles for their genes- hence, we all are a “survival machine" for our genes.
In the light of what you have learned about the molecular structure and function of the gene, is this perspective still relevant? Cite specific biological phenomena to prove your point.
References:
e. coli is commonly found in the human Microbiome. while most strains are harmless some can cause various illnesses ranging from urinary track infections to severe gastroenteritis. which of the following is a primary mechanism by which e. coli obtains its pathogenicity?
A. Vertical gene transfer from parent to offspring
B. Endosymbiosis with other bacteria
C. Mutation in the bacterial chromosome
D. Horizontal gene transfer from other Bacteria or the environment

What might we reasonably say about this topic? (Select all that apply) A - While one can have fun with entertaining stories about evolution (including ones that are very plausible), this is not a good reason to fund research on antibiotics because that is a solved medical problem. B - It has already happened with some early antibiotics (like penicillin)-the only reason we are momentarily okay is the continued development of additional antibiotics. C - In principle, it is possible but evolution takes millions of years, so don't expect it in the near-future. D - The bodies of humans have evolved since the discovery of antibiotics such that they are less and less effective already. E - We shouldn't find antibiotic resistance to be evidence for evolution because it is only a science-fiction story: it…arrow_forward
