Virginia Tech Biology 1105 Test 4 UPDATED
ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Genetic Maps - CORRECT ANSWER - Provide relative location of genes using landmarks.
Physical Maps - CORRECT ANSWER - Provide actual location of genes.
Restriction maps - CORRECT ANSWER - a common type of physical map
Sequence Tagged Sites - CORRECT ANSWER - Language used to describe the location of a gene
on a physical map so that it is universal. A unique stretch of DNA added to databases.
FISH (Chromosome Banding) - CORRECT ANSWER - Method of marking low resolution
physical maps with a stain to depict a specific area on the chromosome.
BLAST - CORRECT ANSWER - used to link searched sequence the sequences of related genes
and proteins
Coding DNA - CORRECT ANSWER - Contains genes that encode
Noncoding DNA - CORRECT ANSWER - Does not contain genes that encode proteins
Single copy genes - CORRECT ANSWER - Coding DNA that exists as a single copy on a
particular chromosome
Segmental Duplications - CORRECT ANSWER - Coding or Noncoding DNA in entire blocks of
genes that can be copies from one chromosome to another
, Multigene Families - CORRECT ANSWER - Coding DNA groups of related but distinctly
different genes that occur together in clusters
Tandem Clusters - CORRECT ANSWER - Coding DNA- identical copies of genes can be found in
sequential groupings and may also include genes which do not encode protein
Noncoding DNA within genes - CORRECT ANSWER - protein encoding information (exons) is
often interspersed with introns that do not code
Structural DNA - CORRECT ANSWER - Noncoding DNA- consecutive heterochromatin- regions
of the chromosome that remain tightly coiled and transcribed
Simple Sequence Repeated (SSRs) - CORRECT ANSWER - Noncoding DNA- A 1-6 nucleotide
sequence which is repeated several to thousands of times
Pseudogenes - CORRECT ANSWER - Noncoding DNAInactive genes which have lost their
function due to mutations
Transposable Elements - CORRECT ANSWER - Mobile pieces of DNA which may or may not
code for proteins
Noncoding RNA - CORRECT ANSWER - RNAs that do not encode proteins but have important
regulatory functions
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism - CORRECT ANSWER - Sites where at least 1% of individuals
differ by a single nucleotide. Helps to identify associations between genes
Proteome - CORRECT ANSWER - the proteins encoded in the genome
Proteomics - CORRECT ANSWER - a study and focus on the proteins encoded in the genome
