a) Why was it important to sequence ESTs as well as the human genome?
A. Because ESTs contain sequence that is not in the genome
B. To identify the location of the exons
C. To identify the location of the promoter
D. Because ESTs are different than what is in the human genome
b) What regions of the genome are missing if only ESTs are
sequenced?
A. cDNA
B. Exons
C. mRNA
D. 3'UTR
E. Introns
c) Name a region of the genome that ESTs can NOT help you identify?
Answer
Part A) ESTs are used to identify the location of exons in genome.
Part B) Introns would be missed if only ESTs sequenced in a genome.
Part C)
ESTs are expressed sequence tags which are present in mRNA encoding portion of genome i.e. Exons of genime.
So ESTs help us to locate the position of exons in the genome and does not give any information about the introns.

Why have the centromeric regions of the human genome been difficult to sequence? What surprising discovery was made when the centromeric region of Arabidopsiswas first sequenced?
What type of DNA sequence accounts for the greatest proportion of the human genome? a. Exons b. Tandem arrays c. Mobile DNA elements d. Gene families e. Introns
The portion of the mRNA sequence that is translated into a polypeptide chain is: a) the coding sequence b) the 5' UTR c) the 3' UTR d) the exons e) the introns
OLU Ucues Assignment 4c. In eukaryotes, genes are composed of exons and introns, with only exons included in the mRNA. Each gene also has its own adjacent promoter, to which the transcribing enzyme RNA polymerase binds. Related genes may be clustered together on the same chromosome as a “gene family." Answer each of the following questions in the answer box of the assignment. You may also write the answers directly into the assignment document and then upload your answers. Number...

4. Alpha amanitin is found in poisonous mushrooms and irreversibly binds RNA polymerase lI in eukaryotic cells. Why do people die when they eat poisonous mushrooms? (Stating they are poisonous is not an acceptable answer. You need to explain why.] 13 points] 5. Draw a diagram representing the structure of the human DABEARS gene. This gene has 4 exons. The complete precursor mRNA sequence is 2017 bp, [6 pts] a. First draw the gene indicating:...
The typical human gene contains an average of 8 exons. The exons average about 145 nucleotides in length, and the internal introns are usually about 10x that size. Using these values, calculate the following. Please show your work so that partial credit can be given when applicable. a.(5 points) Assuming only internal introns, a 100 nucleotide 5’ untranslated region, and a 800 nucleotide 3’ untranslated region, how long is the typical pre-mRNA in humans? b.(5 points) Assuming complete and perfect...
To promote the translational activity of ribosomes in human cells for synthesizing viral proteins during infection, viruses: a)Keep a ribosome binding site specific to human ribosomes on their genome. b)Only adhere to and infect metabolically active host cells where protein synthesis is high. c)Maintain introns and sometimes exons in there genomes to appear as eukaryotic mRNA. d)Chemically modify (e.g., cap and methylate) the transcripts.
