The Human Genome Project and beyond Nature of Biology 1 Chapter 13 pg 484 - 520
Three quick questions 1. What is the relationships between a genome, a gene and an allele? 2. There are 200 guanine nitrogenous bases in a gene which has a total of 500 nitrogenous base pairs. How many adenine are there in the gene? 3. Explain why the amount of chromosomes that an organism has does not directly correlate with the number of genes in their genome.
Study Design Unit 2, Area of Study 2 – Genomes, genes and alleles The role of genomic research since the Human Genome Project, with reference to the sequencing of the genes of many organisms, comparing relatedness between species, determining gene function and genomic applications for the early detection and diagnosis of human diseases
