Genome annotation

The technique of linking biological information to genome sequences is termed genome annotation. Gene annotation is the method of identifying gene locations and coding sections. It helps us understand what these genes are doing in the body through establishing structural characteristics and linking them to the actions of various proteins.

Q13. Genomes sizes among related eukaryotes vary much more widely than genome sizes among related bacteria. How is this difference in variability best explained? A. Evolutionary processes (e.g. natural selection) exert less constraint on genome size in eukaryotes than in bacteria. B. Genome size is proportional to energy production - cells that make more ATP have more DNA. C. Eukaryotes have a much wider range of chromosome number than bacteria. D. Organisms with greater morphological complexity have larger genomes.

Q5. Human mitochondrial genomes code for 37 genes but mitochondria produce only 13 proteins. What would most likely account for mitochondrial genomes having more genes than needed to code for the proteins produced? A. Several genes code for products that are not translated. B. Several genes have been inactivated over evolutionary time and no longer code for proteins. C. Several genes, and the proteins they code for, are of viral origin. They are not human mitochondrial genes. D. Several genes are coded on both the top and bottom strands of DNA. Therefore, they code for the same proteins.
