(a) 100 bps, (b) 350 bps
Which of the following statements about STRs is False?
These are 2-9 base nucleotides long.
Variation in the number of repeats is used in preparing DNA profiles.
They consist of differences in DNA sequences that are only one nucleotide long.
Clusters of STRs are found widely distributed on all human chromosomes.
Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about findings from Human Genome Project?
15 % of the DNA codes for Protein and rest 85% is non coding DNA
Human genome is made up of 3.2 billion nucleotide base pairs
Repetitive DNA makes most of the non coding DNA.
Our DNA has 20,000-25,000 genes
Which of the following is NOT a goal of Human Genome Project?
To find the location of all genes in our genomes
To compile lists of expressed genes and non expressed sequences.
To find out drugs for the treatment of genetic disorders.
To compare genes and their proteins among different species
Following are the steps of gene therapy. Pick the option from multiple choice that SHOWS the correct order of gene therapy steps:
i. Healthy cells are screened, ii. Normal genes are inserted into the removed body cells by using genetically modified viruses, iii. Cells from infected individual are removed from the body, iv. Healthy cells are returned to the body.
iii, ii, i, iv
ii, i, iii, iv

1) After restriction digestion of a DNA molecule, following fragments were generated - 500 bps, 350 bps, 100 bps and 40 bps. If you load all these fragments on an agarose gel, this fragment_(a)___________ would move farthest and this fragment _(b)___________ would move slowest under the influence of electricity?
The answer is
(a) 40 bps, (b) 500 bps
In gel electrophoresis the molecules move based on molecular weight and charge. So small molecules will move faster than larger molecules
2) Which of the following statements about STRs is False?
The answer is
They consist of differences in DNA sequences that are only one nucleotide long.
3) Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about findings from Human Genome Project?
The answer is
15 % of the DNA codes for Protein and rest 85% is non coding DNA (ONLY 1% IS CODING )
4) Following are the steps of gene therapy. Pick the option from multiple choice that SHOWS the correct order of gene therapy steps:
The answer is iii, ii, i, iv
iii. Cells from infected individual are removed from the body,
ii. Normal genes are inserted into the removed body cells by using genetically modified viruses,
i. Healthy cells are screened,
iv. Healthy cells are returned to the body.
