• The study of organisms genome

• The synthesis of genomes of artificial cells

• The theoretical hypotheses designed to expect future genetic mutations

Which of the following are among the goals of the human genome project?

• 1. Facilitating the development of new diagnostic tools and therapies based on genetic insights

• 1. Locating and identifying all the genes within the human genome

• Sequencing the entire genome

Which of the following is correct about the human genome?

• 1. About 20% of the genome contain repeating sequences

• 1. Genes have a very high content of pyrimidines

• 1. More than 60% of nucleotides code for all proteins in the body

• There are approximately a total 22,300 genes in the human genome

Which of the following is a benefit of comparing genomes?

• Helped to analyze and interpret the functions of newly identified human genes

• 2. Helped to control the growth of organisms that have no benefits to humans

• 2. Helped to develop technologies that will be used to explore life on other planets

• 2. Helped to merge the genetic material of unrelated organisms in one cell

Another benefit of comparing genomes of different organisms is to find their evolutionary relatedness. Based on the data below, which two species are the most closely related to each other?

• 1 and 2

• 1 and 4

• 2 and 3

• 3 and 4

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system, and other organs in the body. Which of the following tools would be a better option of treating individuals that are affected with cystic fibrosis?

• Gene therapy

• haplotyping

• proteomics

• Organ transplantation

Which of the following processes can be identified as both biotechnology and genetic engineering?

• Hybridization of two plant strains to produce plants with better yield

• Modification of an organisms DNA to express a desired trait

• Transplantation of a liver in a patient who suffers from liver failure

• Using bacteria in dairy production

A student wanted to prepare a recombinant DNA for a research purposes. She mixed a solution that contained the gene of interest with a solution that contained the plasmid vector after both have been cut with a restriction enzyme. When she tested the presence of the recombinant DNA molecule, she did not find any in the solution. Which of the following the student missed to add to the mixture?

• DNA ligase enzyme

• DNA polymerase enzyme

• Free nucleotides

• Ribosomes

Which of the following is the correct sequence of steps of the process of recombinant DNA?

• DNA cleavage → DNA joining → introducing DNA to host cell

• 2. DNA joining → DNA cleavage → introducing DNA to host cell

• 2. Introducing DNA to host cell → DNA joining → DNA cleavage

• 2. DNA cleavage → introducing DNA to host cell → DNA joining

The DNA sequence below was cut as illustrated using one of the listed restriction enzymes in the table that follows. Which enzyme was used?

• Bam HI

• bgl II

• Eco RI

• Sal I
