Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Among the results of the genome working drafts, any human genes found to be identical to genes in bacteria has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A genome is the complete set of DNA of an organic species including all genes.
The mapping of human genome is led by two organizations. They are the Human Genome Project and Celera Genomics.
Bacteria are prokaryotes where there is no nucleus in the cell whereas humans are eukaryotic species having a nucleus inside the cell.
Bacteria genome is consist of one circular chromosome. Human genome is encoded as DNA consisting of 23 pair of chromosomes.
There are many differences and similarities among the genome of both the species
Bacterial genome is consisting of exons alone where it makes the DNA of bacteria to replicate rapidly and to involve in the synthesis of protein. Human genomes are consisting of introns between the functional genes and before the synthesis of protein it undergoes splicing mechanisms and the effect is delayed.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of proteins produced by a given gene should be determined.

- James Noonan and his colleagues (J. Noonan et al. 2005. Science 309:597–599) set out to study the genome sequence of an extinct species of cave bear. They extracted DNA from 40,000-year-old bones from a cave bear and used a metagenomic approach to isolate, identify, and sequence the cave-bear DNA. Why did they use a metagenomic approach when their objective was to sequence the genome of one species (the cave bear)?arrow_forwardDescribe the outcome of a chain-terminator sequencing procedure in which (a) too few primers are present or (b) an excess of primers is present.arrow_forwardIn DNA-hybridization experiments on six species of plants in the genus Vicia, DNA was isolated from each of the six species, denatured by heating, and sheared into small fragments (W. Y. Chooi. 1971. Genetics 68:213–230). In one experiment, DNA from each species and from E. coli was allowed to renature. The graph shows the results of this renaturation experiment. Q. Notice that, for the Vicia species, the rate of renaturation is much faster in the first hour and then slows down. What might cause this initial rapid renaturation and the subsequent slowdown?arrow_forward
- For the given restriction enzyme: BslI (CCNNNNN^NNGG) i) Approximately how many fragments would result from digestion of the human genome (3 × 109 bases) with the enzyme?  ii) Estimate the average size of the pieces of the human genome produced by digestion with the enzyme. iii) State whether the fragments of human DNA produced by digestion with the given enzyme would have sticky ends with a 5′ overhang, sticky ends with a 3′ overhang, or blunt ends. iv) If the enzyme produces sticky ends, would all the overhangs on all the ends produced by that enzyme on all fragments of the human genome be identical, or not?  The recognition sequence on one strand for the enzyme is given in parentheses, with the 5′ end written at the left. N means any of the four nucleotides; R is any purine—that is, A or G; and Y is any pyrimidine—that is, C or T. ^ marks the site of cleavage.
