4) The evolutionary origin of mitochondria is demonstrated by which of the following key
genomic characteristics?
A) variable numbers of protein-encoding genes
B) large stretches of AT-rich DNA

Chapter Section: 9.4

5) An open reading frame (ORF) encodes for
A) a carbohydrate.
B) a polypeptide.
C) a lipid.
D) a carbohydrate or a polypeptide.
Answer: B
Bloom’s Taxonomy: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding
Chapter Section: 9.2

6) The pan genome of a species is the genomic content that is
A) common to all strains of the same species.
B) present in one or more strains of the same species.
C) shared with all other prokaryotes.
D) hypothetical or uncharacterized genome content of a species.
Answer: B
Bloom’s Taxonomy: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding
Chapter Section: 9.7

7) Microarrays can be used to
A) analyze global gene expression.
B) detect pathogens.
C) detect unwanted food additives or substitutes.
D) detect pathogens, analyze global gene expression, and detect unwanted food additives or
substitutes.
Answer: D
Bloom’s Taxonomy: 1-2: Remembering/Understanding
Chapter Section: 9.9

8) Transcriptome analysis is useful in relation to genome analysis because
A) it is NOT dependent on nucleic acid sequencing technology.
B) it results in amino acid sequence and is, thus, easier to analyze.
C) it analyzes RNA, thus it reveals which genes are expressed under different conditions.
D) it reveals interactions between molecules and, thus, provides more information than genome
analysis.
Answer: C
