What is the human genome project? How has it changed the way that we look at genetic diseases/disorders, gene therapy, and forensics science?
- Q: Compare And Contrast The Prokaryotic And Eukaryotic Genomes
The eukaryotic genome is diploid but the prokaryotic genome is haploid. The eukaryotic genome has multiple origins of replication but the prokaryotic genome has only one origin of replication. The eukaryotic genome may have more than one chromosome but...
- How Are Genes And Other Sequences Distributed In The Genome?
KEY CONCEPTS:Repeated sequences (present in more than one copy) account for >50% of the human genome. The great bulk of repeated sequences consist of copies of nonfunctional transposons. There are many duplications of large chromosome regions.Are...
- The Human Genome Has Fewer Genes Than Expected
KEY CONCEPTS:Only 1% of the human genome consists of coding regions. The exons comprise ~5% of each gene, so genes (exons plus introns) comprise ~25% of the genome. The human genome has 30,000-40,000 genes. ~60% of human genes are alternatively spliced....
- Project
You should have in the back of your minds what WOW science project you want to do and know that this is tonight from 5:00 - 6:45. But what project do you hope to do and why? And I put you on YouTube....
- Your Project
Pick one project that we did yesterday and tell me what scientific method this will teach the kids that do this project....
