GENETICS SOLUTION TOTAL
QUESTIONS CORRECTLY RESOLVED
◉ The experimental process of determining the relative location of
genes or other segments of DNA along individual chromosomes is called
__________. Answer: mapping
◉ ________ uses the unique banding patterns of a chromosome to
determine the general location of a gene. Answer: Cytogenic mapping
◉ Which of the following acronyms describes a technique used in
chromosome painting? Answer: FISH
◉ A woman has a child and wants to determine who the father of the
child is. There are four possible fathers. This group of individuals is
analyzed with regard to three different STSs: STS-1 is 215 bp and 199
bp, STS-2 is 144 bp and 122 bp, and STS-3 is 101 bp and 85 bp. The
child (C), mother (M), and 4 potential dads (D1-D4) show the following
results. Which individual is the father of the child? Answer: D3
◉ A site that has variation within the members of the population is said
to be __________. Answer: Polymorphic
, ◉ A series of clones that contain overlapping pieces of a chromosome
are called a _______. Answer: Contig
◉ Imagine that when shotgun sequencing was initially used to sequence
the H. influenzae genome, the sonicator didn't work. How would this
affect the sequencing experiment? Answer: Because the DNA fragments
would be longer than what is usually carried by a plasmid DNA, no
sequence would be obtained.
◉ Which of the following is the most direct benefit of high-throughput
Sanger sequencing? Answer: Many DNA samples can be sequenced
simultaneously.
◉ The method of sequencing genomic fragments that are randomly
generated from larger DNA fragments is called __________. Answer:
◉ Which of the following samples would NOT be suitable for a
metagenomics-based approach? Answer: A homogeneous population of
skin cancer cells collected from a patient biopsy
◉ The method of sequencing genomic fragments that are randomly
generated from larger DNA fragments is called __________. Answer:
shotgun sequencing
