Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Among the results of the genome working drafts, any human genes found to be identical to genes in bacteria has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A genome is the complete set of DNA of an organic species including all genes.
The mapping of human genome is led by two organizations. They are the Human Genome Project and Celera Genomics.
Bacteria are prokaryotes where there is no nucleus in the cell whereas humans are eukaryotic species having a nucleus inside the cell.
Bacteria genome is consist of one circular chromosome. Human genome is encoded as DNA consisting of 23 pair of chromosomes.
There are many differences and similarities among the genome of both the species
Bacterial genome is consisting of exons alone where it makes the DNA of bacteria to replicate rapidly and to involve in the synthesis of protein. Human genomes are consisting of introns between the functional genes and before the synthesis of protein it undergoes splicing mechanisms and the effect is delayed.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of proteins produced by a given gene should be determined.

Human genomes consist of introns between the functional genes and every time it should undergo splicing mechanisms before protein synthesize and delays the effect.

- The genome of what free living organism was first fully sequenced, and when?arrow_forwardthe most efficient general strategy for whole genome sequencing is ? (a) double the coding sequence after sequencing the proteins (b) shotgun sequence and assemble based on overlaps (c) identify mutations that affect glycolysis (d) obtain recombinant DNA clone maps before starting the sequencing (e) obtain comprehensive SNP maps before determining the order of DNA clonearrow_forwardPlease answer fast We have lots of options when it comes to trying to purposefully make mutations while doing research. Please brieflyname/describe a method you could use to make: a) random mutations anywhere within the genome in living cells (in vivo) b) random mutations within our cloned gene of interest in vitro c) a very specific (non-random) mutation within our cloned gene of interest in vitro d) NOW for the answer you gave in part C, please elaborate in detail how this method of mutagenesis is performed.arrow_forward
- a) What is gene mutation? and what are the causes and consequences of gene mutation? b)With illustrations, write concisely on gene mutation with emphasis on (i) Point Mutation (ii) Silent Mutation (iii) Frameshift Mutationarrow_forwardBefore this experiment, Dr Merrick didn’t know whether the OBP that he cloned was a type of myoglobin or hemoglobin from mammoth. From his data, he is now quite sure that OBP cannot be myoglobin from mammoth. How does he know? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion If you want to identify genes linked to autism in a mouse model, which genetic approach or approaches could you use? (Mark all that apply) A) Reverse Genetics B) Forward Genetics C) Optogenetics D) Population Geneticsarrow_forward
- James Noonan and his colleagues (J. Noonan et al. 2005. Science 309:597–599) set out to study the genome sequence of an extinct species of cave bear. They extracted DNA from 40,000-year-old bones from a cave bear and used a metagenomic approach to isolate, identify, and sequence the cave-bear DNA. Why did they use a metagenomic approach when their objective was to sequence the genome of one species (the cave bear)?arrow_forwardDescribe the outcome of a chain-terminator sequencing procedure in which (a) too few primers are present or (b) an excess of primers is present.arrow_forwardpick a specific disease that is currently a candidate for gene therapy—(a)briefly describing the gene mutation(s) and resulting disease symptoms, (b)brief description of a current gene therapy approach(es) for this disease. Has this approach shown any potential successes in disease treatment?arrow_forward
- (a) What is Figure 1 in the Zheng et al paper showing? Describe it in your own words. (b) What are some sections of the Zheng paper that are re-arranged or different than you might expect in a primary research article. Is this still primary research? (c) How did the author use CRISPR to alter the butterfly wing expression? What was the result of this use of CRISPR?arrow_forwardIn DNA-hybridization experiments on six species of plants in the genus Vicia, DNA was isolated from each of the six species, denatured by heating, and sheared into small fragments (W. Y. Chooi. 1971. Genetics 68:213–230). In one experiment, DNA from each species and from E. coli was allowed to renature. The graph shows the results of this renaturation experiment. Q. Notice that, for the Vicia species, the rate of renaturation is much faster in the first hour and then slows down. What might cause this initial rapid renaturation and the subsequent slowdown?arrow_forwardWhat is central dogma of molecular genetics? How does it work ?arrow_forward
