Set 18 Microbial Genomics

(Multiple Choice)

Free

When two or more genes from the same genome have nucleotide sequences so alike that they most probably arose from gene duplication those genes are called _______.

A)homologs
B)orthologs
C)paralogs
D)duologs

Answer

(Multiple Choice)

Free

The Sanger sequencing approach developed in the 1970s

A)has been rendered obsolete by the development of fundamentally different methodologies.
B)is still the main approach used to determine nucleotide sequences.
C)is useful for sequencing small DNAs but is not applicable to genome sized DNA molecules.
D)is applicable to RNA but not DNA.

Answer

(True False)

Free

The whole-genome shotgun approach is useful for sequencing small bacterial genomes but has failed in the case of larger eukaryotic genomes such as those of Drosophila and human.
