Question 1

What is the difference between genetic dissection and genome sequencing?

Accepted Answer

A) Genetic dissection reveals information about one gene at a time and genome sequencing reveals information about all the genes in a genome at once. 
B) Genetic dissection experiments can be accomplished in any species and genome sequencing is only possible in model organisms. 
C) Genetic dissection depends on the availability of mutations in model organisms and mutations are of no use in the study of genomes by genome sequencing. 
D) The genetic dissection approach is affordable and genome sequencing is prohibitively expensive.

D) 5′ TAGACC 3′ 
A) 5′ CCAGAT 3′ 
B) 5′ ATCTGG 3′ 
C) 3′ GGTCTA 5′ 
D) 5′ TAGACC 3′

Question 3

A sequence of bases in the middle of an RNA used to encode a polypeptide has the sequence UUA-AUG-CGU.Is it possible to infer the sequence of the amino acids encoded by this RNA?

Accepted Answer

A) Yes, the sequence is Leu-Met-Arg. 
B) Yes, the sequence is Asn-Tyr-Ala. 
C) No, this RNA sequence could encode more than one amino acid sequence. 
D) No; the sequence of amino acids in polypeptides is not related to the sequence of bases in RNA. 
A) Yes, the sequence is Leu-Met-Arg. 
B) Yes, the sequence is Asn-Tyr-Ala. 
C) No, this RNA sequence could encode more than one amino acid sequence.
