Clearly, all humans have variations in their DNA sequences. How is it possible to sequence the human genome if every individual is unique? How was the diversity of the human genome addressed?
Do homologous chromosomes have the same exact NUCLEOTIDE sequences?
Why do we only need 23 chromosomes for DNA sequencing, when the two homologous pairs do not have the exact same nucleotide sequences? Why don't we use all 46 chromosomes?
What does the future hold for genomes? How will they be different in 100, 1,000, 1 million, or 1 billion years? Make this a long discussion.

- Why do scientists want to sequence the human genome?arrow_forwardUsing a laser beam, you isolated several R bands from human chromosomes. Answer the following questions What kinds of genes are present in R bands? Which isochors do you expect to be present in the R band? What class of interspersed repeats will be present in R bands? What class of tandem repeats do you expect to find in RG bands? Would you expect to find telomere sequences in some R bands?arrow_forwardHow many nucleotides does the human genome contain?arrow_forward
- Molecular geneticists interested in the evolutionary history of the human race have concentrated their research on samples of DNA from women representing all races and continents. Why might the DNA of women--and not men--be of interest?arrow_forwardWhat are the big differences between eukaryotic (nuclear) and prokaryotic genomes? How do prokaryotic genomes compare to the genomes found in eukaryotic organelles? Why?arrow_forwardwhy the human dna is considered as a fibonacci sequence?arrow_forward
- The English language, based on 26 letters,can create an infinite variety of words, but how can an apparently complex genetic language such as DNA be based on just four nitrogen base “letters”?arrow_forwardHow many Illumina clusters would you need to generate 15X coverage of the human genome, assuming your read lenght is 600 bp? (assume a human genome size of 3 billion bp) - 2.5 billion - 75 million - 7 million - 100 millionarrow_forwardhow can genomes with a relatively small number of genes produce the vast complexity of phenotypes that results in living organisms, including humans?arrow_forward
- What is the specific base sequence found in human telomeres, and how does the base sequence contained in the telomeric regions of chromosomes differ from that found elsewhere in the chromosome? (Please indicate both the base sequence and the 5’/3’ polarity.)arrow_forwardWhat is the purpose of the Human Genome Project? Why do researchers want to know the details of the human genome?arrow_forwardBased from Fig. 1B, which of the following lanes contain a good quality genomic DNA? Bad quality genomic DNA? Why or Why not? Answer in maximum of 5 sentences only. You can prove your answer by describing the banding pattern of each lanes and how to troubleshoot the DNA extraction procedure if possible.arrow_forward
