o   Genome analysis

o   Developmental genetics

o   Evolutionary genetics of skeletal structures

 

1. Takifugu rubripes – A poisonous marine pufferfish; has an unusually small genome compared to other vertebrates but still carries all essential genes. ________

 

2. Danio rerio – The zebrafish common to amateur aquaria. Many color morphs are available, they breed readily, and embryos are transparent. ________

 

3. Three-spined stickleback – Stickleback species have variable structure of the bony vertebrae and different numbers of spines on the back. ________

 

 

Feedback:Correct

 

Question 7 of 10

Isolating all of the RNA out of an organism, subjecting it to reverse transcriptase, and then cloning all of the resulting DNA into plasmids is the process of creating

 

o   genomic libraries

o   cytogenetic maps

o   cDNA libraries

o   expresses sequence tags

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Question 8 of 10

An individual may have a mutation that causes them to break down a drug much more quickly than normal people. They were then provided with a higher dose, which was effective in treating the disease. This is an example of ________.

 

o   medical allele variation

o   pharmacogenomics

o   metagenomics

o   toxic drug assay

 

 

 

Question 9 of 10

How can scientists tell how closely related two organisms are?

 

o   the more genes they share, the more similar

o   by looking at common features, like eye color, hair color, and number of arms

o   by the number of chromosomes that look the same

o   by determining their family trees through genealogy

 

Question 10 of 10

Linkage analysis determines

 

o   which two chromosomes two different genes are on by using vectors

o   how close two genes are on the same chromosome by recombination

o   whether two species are related by analyzing their genomes

o   the mutations in an individual by crossing with another and looking at the offspring.
