chromosomes-- determined that chromosomes carry genes
What occurred in 1953 in the world of genetics? - Answer-The DNA double helix
was determined
Who determined the double helix structure of DNA - Answer-James Watson and
Francis Crick
What occurred in 1955 in the world of genetics? - Answer-Joe Hin Tijo defined 46
as the exact number of chromosomes in human cells
Who discovered that there are precisely 46 chromosomes in the human cell? -
Answer-Joe Hin Tijo
What occurred in 1959 - Answer-Chromosome abnormalities were identified.
Specifically, Down syndrome is caused by trisomy 21
Who discovered that Down syndrome is caused by trisomy 21? - Answer-J.
Lejeune and his colleagues
What occurred in 1966 that affected the world of genetics? - Answer-It was
determined the genetic code that allows nucleic acids with their 4-letter alphabet to
determine the order of 20 kinds of amino acids in proteins

Who determined the genetic code in 1966? - Answer-M. Nirenberg, H. Khorana,
and R. Dahore
What occurred in 1973 that affected the world of genetics? - Answer-The first
animal gene was cloned
How can we use the information derived from the human genome project? -
Answer-1. Understand human disease better
2. More insight into human origins
3. Better insight into cognitive function
4. Identifying genetic susceptibility to disease
5. Personalize medicine
The cancer genome atlas aims to identify: - Answer-All the genetic abnormalities
seen in 50 major types of cancer
What are the benefits of genomic sequencing? - Answer-1. Targeted interventions
(drugs more effective and cause fewer side effects)
2. Makes it easier to diagnose, manage, and treat many diseases
3. Personalized medicine (focus efforts on specific strategies)
Evolution depends on: - Answer-the occurrence, transmission, and spread of
mutant genes in groups of organisms
Phylogenic tree - Answer-represents the historical relationships among organisms
DNA sequence data provides a way of studying: - Answer-the historical process of
evolution
Classical genetics is based on - Answer-The analysis of the outcomes of crosses
between different strains of organisms

Which of the following is false about classical genetics?
a.) it can be coordinated with studies of the structure and behavior of chromosomes
b.) It localizes genes to specific positions within chromosomes
c.) It does not include transmission genetics nor does it study the nature of genetic
material - Answer-c is false
Chromosome mapping - Answer-Localizing genes to specific positions within
chromosomes
In classical genetic analysis, genes are studies by: - Answer-following the
inheritance of traits in crosses between different strains of an organism
Molecular genetics studies: - Answer-the replication, expression and mutation of
genes at the molecular level
Molecular genetics identifies: - Answer-Genes internal components, such as
coding sequences, regulatory sequences, and non-coding sequences
What is molecular genetics rooted in? - Answer-the study of DNA sequences and
manipulation of DNA molecules
Why is molecular genetics beneficial? - Answer-It gives us new ways to detect
mutant allels and treat diseases
In molecular genetic analysis, genes are studied by - Answer-isolating, sequencing,
and manipulating DNA and by examining the products of gene expression
True or false; individuals within a population always carry the same alleles of
genes - Answer-false-- individuals may carry different alleles
