Genomes Flashcards
(11 cards)
Next Generation Sequencing Methods
Low cost, fast
Creation of searchable sequencing of bases (bioinformatics)
The idea of genome size of multicellular organisms very widely, but there is relatively little difference between number of genes implies that
Lengths of DNA very widely across species
Few genomes code for
Proteins
Nearly ____ of all genomes are made up of
Half
Transposable Elements
Transposable elements
DNA sequences that can copy themselves and insert their copy into a genome
Genome families
2 or more similar genes that are related by a common ancestor
Pseudogenes
Contain a premature stop codon
Duplication and divergence create
Via
Genome families
Unequal crossing Over
In context of gene duplication and divergence, if a part of the rate of point mutations were reduced _____ would be most affected
Gene divergence
Exon Shuffling
Cobbles together new genes from old parts
Decent with modification
To study deep divergence in the evolutionary tree of life, you should use genes that
Accumulate Mutations slowly
