Chapter 1: Genetics – The Study of Biological Information

1. How is DNA structure related to its function?

● The sequence of nucleotides in DNA determines the sequence of amino acids

in a protein.

2. What is one key structural difference between DNA and proteins?

● DNA is made up of nucleotides, whereas proteins are made up of amino

acids.

3. How is a genome best defined?

● A genome is the complete set of DNA contained in all the chromosomes of a

cell.

4. How do the functions of DNA and proteins differ?

● DNA stores genetic information, while proteins carry out most of the cell’s

functions.

5. Which statement supports the idea that all organisms are related?

● The genetic code is nearly universal across all organisms.

6. How do new genes most commonly arise?

● Through gene duplication followed by mutation and divergence.

7. What is the most likely way a mutation in one gene can transform one

body part into another?

● By altering developmental regulatory genes (such as homeotic genes) that

control body patterning.

- The mutated gene encodes a protein that affects the expression of many other
genes.

8) A recent technical advancement that has accelerated the study of genomes is the
abilityto
- sequence large complex genomes rapidly and inexpensively.

9) What is the difference between genetic dissection and genome sequencing?
- Genetic dissection reveals information about one gene at a time and
genomesequencing reveals information about all the genes in a genome at once.

10) Currently, what information can be obtained from sequencing an individual's genome?
- Information about gene variants that predispose a person to a disease, such
asIcancer.

11) Which is not a potential problem of allowing the genomic sequences of individuals
tobecome widely available?
- Advances leading to healthier lives for some people.
