MCB 150 FINAL EXAM REVIEW
QUESTIONS AND 100% CORRECT
ANSWERS { GRADED A+}
Children receiving chemotherapy or bone marrow transplants to treat
cancer have a weakened immune system. Some vaccinations are
comprised of a weakened live virus and are not recommended for those
who are immunocompromised. What strategies can help protect the
immunocompromised individuals in a community? Choose all that
apply.
(A) Achieve high vaccination rates to provide herd immunity.
(B) Vaccinate them even if they are immunocompromised.
,(C) Create an alternative non-live vaccine.
(C) Vaccinate their family and close contacts. - ✔✔A, C, D
What experimental question(s) can be addressed by a microarray
analysis? Choose all that apply.
(A) The sequence of a certain gene in an organism
(B) If a certain gene is being expressed in a specific tissue
(C) If a certain gene is being expressed in an organism
(D) If a certain gene is expressed at different levels in different tissues
(E) If a certain gene is expressed in some developmental stages but not
others - ✔✔B, C, D, E
Consider the following statements about genomes:
(1) There is a linear relationship between the size of a eukaryote's
genome and the number of protein-coding genes.
,(2) Although prokaryotic genomes are typically smaller than eukaryotic
genomes, a higher percentage of a prokaryote's genome consists of
repetitive sequences.
Determine which option below is correct.
(A) Statements 1 and 2 are both true.
(B) Statements 1 and 2 are both false.
(C) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
