Frage 3
Frage
G-banding can only detect large abnormalities. True or false?
Frage 4
Frage
What does FISH stand for?
Antworten
-
Fluorescent in situ hybridization
-
Fluorescent in site hydrolysis
-
Familial in situ hybridization
-
Familial in situ hydrolysis
Frage 5
Frage
You don't need to know what abnormality you are looking for when using FISH. True or false?
Frage 6
Frage
Why do you need to know what abnormality you are looking for when using FISH?
Frage 7
Frage
How can you tell if there is an abnormality using the FISH technique?
Antworten
-
Because some of the markers will not light up as they have not been able to anneal to bits of DNA sequence as they are missing
-
Because all of the markers will light up because there are specific sequences of DNA that cause genetic disorders
-
Because if there were no abnormalities the markers would not show up at all
Frage 8
Frage
FISH can show slightly smaller abnormalities than G-banding, but they still have to fairly large. True or false?
Frage 9

-
Quantitative familial polymerase chain reaction
-
Qualitative familial polymerase chain reaction

Frage 19
Frage
How can you tell if there is an abnormality in the DNA when using array-CGH?
Antworten
-
The relative fluorescence of the sample and control strand will be different
-
The relative radiation of the sample and control strand will be different
-
The length of the sample and control strand will be different when run through gel electrophoresis
Frage 20
Frage
Which two molecular biological techniques look at the actual base sequence when looking for genetic abnormalities?
Frage 21
Frage
Which of the following is cheaper and less time consuming?
Frage 22
Frage
Why do we only sequence exons when using sanger sequencing?
Antworten
-
Because the introns do not code for proteins so are not important to us
-
Because it is time consuming and expensive
-
Because introns rarely have mutations that cause genetic diseases
-
Because we are unable to isolate the introns to sequence them

Frage
What machine is used in sanger sequencing to read the sequence of bases?
Antworten
-
An electropheragram
-
A Geiger counter
-
A microscope
Frage 24
Frage

Frage 25
Frage
Why is it better to use next generation sequencing when you don't know what you are looking for?
Antworten
-
Because it is easy to sequence a whole genome
-
Because sanger sequencing would take too long
-
Because next generation sequencing is more accurate
-
Because next generation sequencing is less expensive
