Question
Chapter 27, Problem 27.18AP
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
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)

iii)genetic analysis(double or higher order mutant combination)
iv) expression studies RNA and protein
v)protein interaction studies(Y2H and other technique)
The dideoxynucleosides ddATP, ddTTP, ddGTP, and ddCTP were important in DNA sequencing because they (a) cause premature termination of a growing DNA strand (b) are used as primers (c) cause the DNA fragments that contain them to migrate more slowly through a sequencing gel (d) are notaffected by high temperatures (e) have more energy than deoxynucleotides
