Introduction to genomics

James, Anika, and Olivia are studying biology. They come across the term 'genome'. James thinks it's all the DNA in an organism, Anika thinks it's a type of protein, Olivia thinks it's a type of chromosome, and another friend thinks it's a type of cell. Who is correct?

• James (All the DNA in an organism)

• Anika (A type of protein)

• Olivia (A type of chromosome)

• The other friend (A type of cell)

Aiden, Grace, and Priya are in a science class. Their teacher asks them, 'What are the primary components of the DNA in the cells we studied today?'

• Carbohydrates

• Proteins

• Chemical building blocks

• Lipids

Arjun, Samuel, and Olivia are studying biology. They are discussing about human genetics and Arjun asks, 'How many chromosomes do humans have?'

• 50

• 78

• 46

• 24

Aiden is studying biology and he comes across a term 'gene'. He asks Charlotte and Anika about it. What do they tell him a gene is?

• A type of chromosome

• A portion of DNA that provides instructions for making a specific protein

• A type of cell

• A type of protein

Sophia and Nora are discussing about genetics. Sophia says that half of a person's genes come from their biological mother, while Nora believes it's from both biological parents. Lily, who is listening to their conversation, is confused. According to you, who is correct?

• Sophia

• Nora

• Both Sophia and Nora

• None of them

Scarlett, Grace, and Avery are studying genetics in school. They learned that genetic diseases are caused by what?

• Changes in the lipid code

• Changes in the protein code

• Changes in the RNA code

• Changes in the DNA code

James, Luna, and Olivia are part of a family that has a history of a certain disease. What is the main reason why this disease might run in their family?

• Lifestyle and environmental factors

• Changes in the DNA code

• Genetic variants with no effect

• Passing genetic variants from one generation to the next

Maya, Evelyn, and Aria are curious about their family history and health. They decide to undergo genetic testing. What information will this test determine?

• Only their family's health

• Only their ancestry

• Only their health

• Their ancestry, health, and family's health

James, Jackson, and Noah are discussing the role of proteins in the body. James thinks proteins produce energy for the body, Jackson believes they store genetic information, while Noah says they carry out particular functions in the body. Who is correct?

• James, who thinks proteins produce energy for the body

• Jackson, who believes proteins store genetic information

• Noah, who says proteins carry out particular functions in the body

• All of them are correct

Benjamin, Anika, and James are playing a game of 'Chemical Building Blocks'. They have to arrange the blocks in the order of the chemical building blocks in DNA. Can you help them arrange it correctly?

• Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine, Adenine

• Thymine, Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine

• Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine, Thymine

• Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine
