Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Genes are the basic functional and physical unit of heredity. The genes make up the genetic makeup of an individual, which is responsible for the development of the whole organism and its traits.

Determine which of the genomic traits are associated with prokaryotes or eukaryotes. These traits include relative genome size. number of genes, gene density, and number of exons. Prokaryote about one gene every 2000 to 100000 bp relatively large, variable size genome multiple introns Answer Bank relatively small genome about one gene every 1000 bp 500 to 7000 genes Eukaryote 6000 to 30000 genes few, if any, introns
Each of the following describes a distinctive step in a genomic technology or an experimental design. Match the term for each description. An experimental design that looks at the offspring resulting from an F2 cross, where the parental generation have different phenotypes. Then, look for correlation between offspring phenotype and genotype. The intensity of fluorescence in each spot indicates the level of gene expression. Only one fluorescent nucleotide is added, which is complementary to the position of a known SNP. Familial Design [Choose ] RNA microarray GWAS Familial Design Quantitative Genetics Genomic resequencing RNA sequencing DNA microarray Genomic resequencing <
When comparing evolutionary similarities between different genes within a gene family, it is usually more straightforward to compare genes by using the protein sequences of gene products rather than DNA sequences of the genes themselves. Explain why this is the case. (Cover 4 points)
