Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
What is a genome?
Respuesta
  • A little creature possessing telepathic powers
  • An organism's entire genetic material
  • The entire genetic material for one gene
  • The nucleotide sequence of the introns

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
Why is it useful to determine the proteomes of simple organisms?
Respuesta
  • To create better vaccines
  • To allow monitoring of pathogens in outbreaks of disease
  • So that we can alter our own genetics to make these proteins
  • To learn more about introns

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
Why is it hard to translate the genome of complex organisms into their proteomes?
Respuesta
  • They have large sections of non-coding DNA
  • Their mRNA is hard to extract
  • They contain complex regulatory genes
  • Some genes are switched off so not all the possible proteins are made

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
What are the benefits of the new sequencing methods compared to the original method devised by Frederick Sanger?
Respuesta
  • They are automated
  • They are done on a much smaller scale so they are faster
  • They cost less to do
  • They involve less chemicals

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
Because DNA is [blank_start]universal[blank_end], the recipient of recombinant DNA does not have to be of the same species as the donor.
Respuesta
  • universal
  • complementary
  • degenerate
  • antiparallel

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
Making DNA fragments from mRNA 1. Extract target mRNA molecules from a cell that produces the required protein. 2. Mix the mRNA with free DNA nucleotides and [blank_start]reverse transcriptase[blank_end]. 3. The mRNA is used as a template for new strands of [blank_start]cDNA[blank_end] to be synthesised that are complementary to it.
Respuesta
  • reverse transcriptase
  • a restriction endonuclease
  • DNA ligase
  • DNA polymerase
  • cDNA
  • tRNA
  • rRNA
  • miRNA

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
[blank_start]Restriction Endonucleases[blank_end] digest the DNA at specific [blank_start]recognition[blank_end] sequences. These sites are special because they are [blank_start]palindromic[blank_end], meaning that they consist of [blank_start]antiparallel[blank_end] base pairs. Some types of this enzyme cut the DNA so that small tails of unpaired bases are created at each end of the fragment. These are called [blank_start]sticky[blank_end] ends and can be used to [blank_start]anneal[blank_end] DNA fragments together as long as the ends are complementary.
Respuesta
  • Restriction Endonucleases
  • Reverse Transcriptases
  • recognition
  • palindromic
  • antiparallel
  • sticky
  • blunt
  • anneal
  • recconect
  • digest
