Resumo de Recurso

Questão 1

Questão
What is a genome?
Responda
  • It is all of the genes possessed by an individual organisms.This includes the sequence of bases in the entire DNA of an organism.
  • It is the sequencing of an organism.
  • It is a section of the gene possessed by an organism.
  • This is all the genes possessed by all of the organisms in a similar species.

Questão 2

Questão
What are the advantages of genome sequencing?
Responda
  • Shows evolutionary relationships.
  • Shows the effects of mutations.
  • Shows the possibility of a mutation.
  • Shows the alleles for a disease.
  • Shows the importance of bases in DNA.
  • Shows how genes can be manipulated for human benefit.
  • Helps create bio-fortified products.

Questão 3

Questão
'Micro-satellites are long sequences of DNA'.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 4

Questão
'BACs stands for Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes which are man-made plasmids'.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 5

Questão
Why are computer programmes used in genome sequencing?
Responda
  • To compare the overlapping regions of DNA.
  • To check the criminals of the world.
  • To compare whether the genes can be bio-fortified.

Questão 6

Questão
What is genetic fingerprinting?
Responda
  • DNA fragmentation and electrophoresis gives banding patterns unique to individuals.
  • It gives the sequence of DNA.
  • It obtains a particular gene and inserted into a recipient's organism.
  • Comparing genes for the same proteins across a range of organisms.

Questão 7

Questão
What is recombinant DNA?
Responda
  • It is made by cutting DNA and sticking it together.
  • This occurs by conjugation of bacteria which binds two forms of plasmids.

Questão 8

Questão
'Restriction enzymes restrict the DNA from transcribing mRNA'.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 9

Questão
Why is DNA heated in automated sequencing?
Responda
  • To break the hydrogen bonds (by denaturing them) which gives two polynucleotide chains.
  • To create a number of bases that can be amplified by PCR.
  • To separate the fragments for electrophoresis.

Questão 10

Questão
Why do the DNA fragments in electrophoresis move to the anode (positively charged electrode)?
Responda
  • This is because they are positively charged and two positive separates them.
  • This is because they are negatively charged and the negative DNA fragments are attracted to the anode.

Questão 11

Questão
Why is buffer solution required in electrophoresis?
Responda
  • To separate the sections of DNA.
  • To conduct electricity.

Questão 12

Questão
'The longer the fragments, the quicker they move' in electrophoresis.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 13

Questão
Primers bind at the complementary regions of DNA and probes bind at the start of DNA.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 14

Questão
Annealing is binding of base sequences.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 15

Questão
What are sticky ends?
Responda
  • They are short, unpaired, exposed bases.
  • They are bases that are attached to restriction enzymes.

Questão 16

Questão
The insulin comes from beta cells in the liver.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 17

Questão
How is the DNA formed from the insulin gene?
Responda
  • mRNA is extracted and incubated via reverse transcriptase which makes DNA using RNA.
  • It is completed by conjuration of bacteria formed in fermenters.
  • It is completed by the ligase enzyme.

Questão 18

Questão
Why is the ligase enzyme used to make insulin?
Responda
  • It combines the insulin DNA and the plasmid from the bacteria (usually E. Coli).
  • Creates the backbone of DNA.

Questão 19

Questão
Golden rice is bio-fortified with vitamin B.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 20

Questão
Where is beta carotene extracted from?
Responda
  • Daffodils
  • Bacterium: Erwina uredonma
  • Lillies
  • Wheat

Questão 21

Questão
Xenotransplantation is the transplantation of cells, tissues or organs between animals of different species.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 22

Questão
Gene therapy involves replacing a gene that are not functioning.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 23

Questão
Somatic gene therapy only affects skin cells.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 24

Questão
Genes are passed onto offspring in germ line gene therapy.
Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 25

Questão
What are the ethical effects of microorganisms?
Responda
  • Cross contamination of other microorganisms.
  • Mutations of microorganisms which could lead to resistance.
  • Produce deadly toxins that lay in our food.

Questão 26

Questão
What are the temperatures of PCR that need to be set?
Responda
  • 95, 55 and 72.
  • 75, 80 and 40.
  • 60, 40 and 81.
  • 110, 80 and 41.
