Exam 22: Genomics I: Analysis of DNA

_________ involves an examination of how the proteins encoded by genes interact to produce cell and tissue types.

Which of the following is the most direct benefit of high-throughput Sanger sequencing?

The term that best describes how the components of a genome interact to produce an organism's traits is:

Which of the following acronyms describes a technique used in chromosome painting?

In sequencing by synthesis (SBS) methods, the sequence of a sample is directly determined as nucleotides are incorporated into a DNA strand by DNA polymerase.

Which of the following procedures best determines the relative order, but not precise location, of a series of genes on a chromosome?

If all members of a population have the identical DNA sequence at a given site, that site is said to be _______.

An RFLP marker may be used to predict the likelihood that an individual carries a trait for a specific disease.

A site that has variation within the members of the population is said to be ________.

Map units correspond to fixed physical distances.

Metagenomics is a common approach for studying the genes of a clonal population of bacteria in the laboratory.

Cytogenetic mapping is accurate to within 500,000 base pairs, but not over this value.

The process of in situ hybridization is used for which of the following ?

A series of clones that contain overlapping pieces of a chromosome are called a _______.

YAC stands for yeast artificial cosmid.

Which of the following samples would NOT be suitable for a metagenomics-based approach?

What does physical mapping provide that the other types of genetic mapping do not?

________ uses the unique banding patterns of a chromosome to determine the general location of a gene.

BAC stands for bacterial artificial chromosome.

In a FISH procedure, the probe being used is labeled with a fluorescent tag.
