Junk DNA — Not So Useless After All
https://healthland.time.com/2012/09/06/junk-dna-not-so-useless-after-all/
(Claim) Summarize scientist's error in naming noncoding DNA "junk" DNA. (Evidence) Is the amount of DNA an organism has correlated to intelligence or complexity? (Reasoning) What are two discovered uses of noncoding DNA (introns)?
Human Genome ProjectIn 2003, the Human Genome Project was successfully completed, determining the exact sequence of the entire human genome, which is made up of 3 billion nucleotide base pairs. The data generated from the Human Genome Project is freely available online to anyone. Many researches and innovations stemmed from the HGP, allowing the identifications of 1 800 disease genes. Many of the corporations using the results from the HGP are privately funded, and research is being done for profit even though the HGP results are provided freely.Identify one advantage and one disadvantage of corporate funding and patenting genetic research results.

- Give typed full explanation there are about 28,000 copies of zinc finger domains in the human genome, most of them as constituents of transcribed genes. This is a result of what process? Retro transposition of mobile sequences Evolutionary conservation, exon duplication and exon shuffling Evolutionary conversion of leucine zipper, helix-turn-helix, and helix-loop-helix domains into zinc finger domains Evolutionary selection for proteins that interfere with nucleosome packing Genes that “jump” with the help of a transposase.arrow_forwardWhen the human genome sequence was finally completed, scientists were surprised to discover that the genome contains far fewer genes than expected. How many genes are present in the human genome? Scientists have also found that there are many more different kinds of proteins in human cells than there are different genes in the genome. How can this be explained?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Cytochrome c is a protein found in mitochondria. It is used in the study of evolutionary relationships because most animals have this protein. Cytochrome c is made of 104 amino acids joined together. Below is a list of the amino acids in part of a cytochrome protein molecule for 9 different animals. Any sequences exactly the same for all animals have been skipped. For each non-human animal, take a highlighter and mark any amino acids that are different than the human sequence.
