Concept explainers
Interpretation:
It should be determined that how it is possible to sequence the human genome if every individual is unique and how was the diversity of the human genome addressed.
Concept Introduction:
Genomics is the study of whole set of genes and their functions.
Genome sequencing is the technique that allows researchers to read the genetic information found in the DNA of anything from bacteria to plants to animals.
This process involves determining the order of bases found in DNA also.
Genomics is the study of whole set of genes and their functions.
Human genome consist the information of
Genetic diversity is the sum of genetic information contained in the genes of plants, animals, and microorganisms.

- How many bases, or letters, are in the human genome?arrow_forwardWhat are the big differences between eukaryotic (nuclear) and prokaryotic genomes? How do prokaryotic genomes compare to the genomes found in eukaryotic organelles? Why?arrow_forwardIn modern molecular genetics, what is recombinant DNA, and how is it prepared?arrow_forward
- How much human sequence has been produced so far?arrow_forwardIf only part of the genome contains genes, why sequence the whole thing?arrow_forwardIf “the human genome sequence” does not really exist, can you think of better ways in which we might represent the human genome? Propose some possibilities.arrow_forward
- In 1953, Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNADNA by examining data from many different experiments. How did using Chargaff’s data help Watson and Crick determine the structure of DNADNA?arrow_forwardOn the basis of current knowledge, the protein-encoding regions account for only about 3% of the human genome. What is the function of the rest of the DNA?arrow_forwardHow large is the human genome?arrow_forward
- What additional biological questions can be answered if one has the complete sequence of an organisms genome as compared with the sequences of individual genes?arrow_forwardWhy do you think nucleic acids were originally not considered to be carriers of genetic information?arrow_forwarda) Explain the difference between a genome and a transcriptome. Do all cells in an organism have the same genomes and or transcriptomes? b) Explain a method you could use to compare transcriptomes, and what you can learn from comparing transcriptomes.arrow_forward
