Summary Introduction
To predict: The color representing the most evolutionarily conserved base sequence.
Introduction: Evolutionarily conserved sequences are the sequences of bases that are identical or very similar in different species. These sequences are considered to be found in the primordial gene that gave rise to modern species. These sequences may have some critical function; therefore, they have not changed over evolutionary time.

Objective: Get a sense of how genomics, the study of the genome in its entirety,needs to think about how to go about its research.
Geonomic DNA is broken up into fragments. The 5’ and 3’ ends of each fragment(a “read”) are sequenced. The sequenced reads are assembled together intocontiguous sequences (“contigs”) based on sequence similarity.
The idea is to sequence enough random fragments so that every nucleotide in thegenome is represented on some read. The number of such fragments needed iscalled the coverage, c.
The coverage c can be calculated by the formula RL/G, where R is the number ofreads sequenced, L is the average length of a read and G is the total length of thegenome. The units of length are bases (b) or base pairs (bp).
Consider a genome whose length is 1000 bp. “Shotgun” sequencing techniquesare applied to the genome, resulting in 20 reads, with an average length of 50 bp.A very important point is that, even though 20 x 50 = 1000, there is no guaranteethat ALL…

18- Protein sequences can be more informative than DNA sequences.
Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons?
a)
Most of the changes in a DNA sequence do not change the amino
acid that is specified.
b) Protein sequences can provide information on SNPs and
differences between individuals that are not translated.

c) Many amino acids share related biophysical properties and these
relationships in an alignment can be used for scoring systems.
d) There are 20 characters (amino acids) in a protein sequence
whereas DNA has 4 characters (nucleotide bases).
e) Protein sequences offer a longer look-back time than DNA
