a) Why was it important to sequence ESTs as well as the human genome?
A. Because ESTs contain sequence that is not in the genome
B. To identify the location of the exons
C. To identify the location of the promoter
D. Because ESTs are different than what is in the human genome
b) What regions of the genome are missing if only ESTs are
sequenced?
A. cDNA
B. Exons
C. mRNA
D. 3'UTR
E. Introns
c) Name a region of the genome that ESTs can NOT help you identify?
Answer
Part A) ESTs are used to identify the location of exons in genome.
Part B) Introns would be missed if only ESTs sequenced in a genome.
Part C)
ESTs are expressed sequence tags which are present in mRNA encoding portion of genome i.e. Exons of genime.
So ESTs help us to locate the position of exons in the genome and does not give any information about the introns.

Why have the centromeric regions of the human genome been difficult to sequence? What surprising discovery was made when the centromeric region of Arabidopsiswas first sequenced?
OLU Ucues Assignment 4c. In eukaryotes, genes are composed of exons and introns, with only exons included in the mRNA. Each gene also has its own adjacent promoter, to which the transcribing enzyme RNA polymerase binds. Related genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome as a “gene family." Answer each of the following questions in the answer box of the assignment. You may also write the answers directly into the assignment document and then upload your answers. Number...
Below is shown an 8kb region of the human genome, with the proportion of the nucleotides that are identical between the human sequence and the homologous sequence from mouse on the top graph, and the location of sequences mapped from an RNA-sequencing experiment on the bottom graph What region is likely to be an enhancer element upstream of the promoter? What region is likely to be an enhancer element in an intron? 100 % conservation RNA-seq 2000 4000 6000 8000...
I didnt do quite as well as i wpuld have liked on my molecular bio exam. Please help me reciew what I missed. Thanks! We were unable to transcribe this imageWe were unable to transcribe this imageA fragment restricted with EcoRI enzyme can be used for ligation into a plasmid that was restricted with BamHI because both the insert and the plasmid contain sticky ends a True b) False 10. Polynucleotide probes can be used to screen a genomic library...
Please answer 4 and 5? 4. Alpha amanitin is found in poisonous mushrooms and irreversibly binds RNA polymerase lI in eukaryotic cells. Why do people die when they eat poisonous mushrooms? (Stating they are poisonous is not an acceptable answer. You need to explain why.] 13 points] 5. Draw a diagram representing the structure of the human DABEARS gene. This gene has 4 exons. The complete precursor mRNA sequence is 2017 bp, [6 pts] a. First draw the gene indicating:...
To promote the translational activity of ribosomes in human cells for synthesizing viral proteins during infection, viruses: a)Keep a ribosome binding site specific to human ribosomes on their genome. b)Only adhere to and infect metabolically active host cells where protein synthesis is high. c)Maintain introns and sometimes exons in there genomes to appear as eukaryotic mRNA. d)Chemically modify (e.g., cap and methylate) the transcripts.
Genes in eukaryotes are often organized into exons and intrans, which require splicing to produce an mRNA that can be translated. The gene organization is the order of the DNA segments that comprise the gene starting with the promoter, the first exon, the first intron, the second exon, and so on. The interspersed intrans can make gene identification difficult in eukaryotesparticularly in higher eukaryotes with many introns and alternative spliced mRNAs. Prediction of many genes and their organization has been...
cDNA libraries are constructed by using reverse transcriptase to synthesize DNA from mRNA that has been isolated from a cell. Since cDNA libraries represent mRNA sequences found within a cell, which of the following would be missing from a gene's sequence in a eukaryotic cDNA library? A) a start codon B) exons C) a signal sequence for polyadenylation D) introns E) a stop codon The following results were achieved after performing an Ames test by exposing his- bacteria to four...

Met-Pro-Lcu If the sequence on at RNA is UAC. then the sequence on the mRNA is: A. AUG B. UAC C.ATG D. CAUWhat happens at the "P" site on the ribosome? A. A peptide bond is formedB. A protein is released C. The ribosome prepares for translation D. There is no...
