3[blank_start]Missense mutation[blank_end]: point mutation in which a single nucleotide change results in a codon that codes for a different amino acid.
[blank_start]Nonsense mutation[blank_end]: point mutation in a sequence of DNA that results in a premature stop codon.- ANonsense mutation
- BMissense mutation
4A [blank_start]synonymous[blank_end] substitution is the evolutionary substitution of one base for another in an exon of a gene coding for a protein, such that the produced amino acid sequence is not modified.
- Asynonymous
- Bquiet
- Cpointless

7Next generation sequencing of genes has an advantage over sanger (conventional) sequencing because ...
- AIt allows sequencing of a much larger number of genes
- BIt is able to pick up mutations while discarding polymorphisms
- CIt samples a smaller number of genes, however is up to 4 times more accurate
8Array comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH) is preferable to karyotyping as a first test for chromosomal analysis because it has a higher resolution
- AVerdadeiro
- BFalso
9A 64 year old man has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy due to an IIe345X (stop) mutation in the MYBPC3 gene. His 32 y/o son is healthy and has a normal heart scan but is shown to carry the same mutation. What is the most likely genetic explanation for the normal scan in his son?
- AThe mutation has variable penetrance
- BThe mutation has absolute penetrance
- CThe mutation has relative penetrance
10A 10 year old girl has severe learning difficulties. A mutation is identified in a gene that causes a syndrome. What would be the strongest evidence that this variant is causing the learning difficulties?
- AThe mutation is present in the child but not the parents
- BThe mutation is present in both the child and the parents
- CThe mutation is present on both X chromosomes
- DMother's sister has a daughter with severe learning difficulties
