(a)
Interpretation:
Among the results of the genome working drafts, any human genes found to be identical to genes in bacteria has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
A genome is the complete set of DNA of an organic species including all genes.
The mapping of human genome is led by two organizations. They are the Human Genome Project and Celera Genomics.
Bacteria are prokaryotes where there is no nucleus in the cell whereas humans are eukaryotic species having a nucleus inside the cell.
Bacteria genome is consist of one circular chromosome. Human genome is encoded as DNA consisting of 23 pair of chromosomes.
There are many differences and similarities among the genome of both the species
Bacterial genome is consisting of exons alone where it makes the DNA of bacteria to replicate rapidly and to involve in the synthesis of protein. Human genomes are consisting of introns between the functional genes and before the synthesis of protein it undergoes splicing mechanisms and the effect is delayed.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of proteins produced by a given gene should be determined.

Human genomes consist of introns between the functional genes and every time it should undergo splicing mechanisms before protein synthesize and delays the effect.

- How much human sequence has been produced so far?arrow_forwardDiscuss the sequencing technology used to resolve the human genome in 2005, its significant advantages and limitations?arrow_forwardShould the exposome field focus exclusively on measuring chemicals derived from exogebeous sources or should the field also evaluate the chemicals generated and processed from endogeneous sources? If a study of the human genome gave rise to genomics, does the human exposome give rise to a new field of exposomics?arrow_forward
- You have isolated a transposable element from the human genome and have determined its DNA sequence.How would you use this sequence to determine thecopy number of the element in the human genome ifyou just had a computer with an Internet connection?arrow_forwardApproximately how many base pairs were identified in the human genome working drafts?arrow_forwardWhat is Human Genome Project? What are its goals and benefits? What are the ethical, legal, and social concerns in sequencing human genome?arrow_forward
- What does whole exome sequencing reveal?arrow_forwardWhat exactly is a genome?arrow_forwardNext-generation sequencing reveals that six new mutations have occurred in the coding regions of genes in an individual diploid fly. If the coding regions of this fly comprise 100 million nucleotides per haploid genome, what is the mutation rate per nucleotide?arrow_forward
