Chapter 18 -
Genomics,
Bioinformatics, and
Proteomics questions
and answers
the __________ is the complete set of DNA in a single
cell of an organism - answer genome
_____________ is the study of genomes, and allows
the sequencing of entire genomes - answer
genomics
__________________ focuses on sequencing genomes
and analyzing nucleotide sequences to identify
genes and other important sequences such as
gene-regulatory elements - answer structural
genomics
the most widely used strategy for sequencing and
assembling an entire genome is ___________________ -
answer whole genome sequencing (WGS)
, the overlapping fragments are adjoining segments
that collectively form one continuous DNA
molecule within a chromosome and are called
________________ - answer continuous fragments or
contigs
________________ is the use of computer-based
approaches to organize, share, and analyze data
related to gene structure, gene sequence and
expression, and protein structure and function -
answer bioinformatics
__________________ are found in protein-coding genes.
They are sequences of triplet nucleotides that,
after transcription and mRNA splicing, are
translated into the amino acid sequence of a
protein - answer open reading frames (ORFs)
_________________ is the study of gene functions
based on the resulting RNAs or possible proteins
they encode as well as regulatory elements -
answer functional genomics
homologous genes from different species thought
to have descended from a common ancestor are
called ____________ - answer orthologs
