Week 5 Chapter 21: Genomics

A gene chip is also called a(n)

DNA microarray.

Genome-wide analysis of gene expression is possible via

DNA microarrays.

What is studied in functional genomics?

Interactions of many genes

In addition to the nucleus, where is genomic information stored in a human cell?

Mitochondria

The transcriptome is the set of all ______ produced in one cell or a population of cells.

RNA molecules

Developing technology for the management of human genome information was one of the goals of the Human Genome Project. To meet this goal, the Human Genome project developed

analytical tools for interpreting genome information.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a technique that is used to

analyze DNA-protein interactions.

The study of the interactions of many genes and the ways that the components of a genome interact to produce an organism's traits is called ___ genomics.

functional

Another term for DNA microarray is

gene chip

The total genetic composition of an organism or species is the

genome

A knockout collection is a collection of organisms of the same species in which each strain

has one gene knocked out.

A method called chromatin ___ (ChIP) can be used to determine whether proteins can bind to a particular region of DNA.

immunoprecipitation

A collection of organisms of the same species in which each strain carries one gene whose function has been inactivated is called a(n) ___ collection.

knockout

The technology that enables the expression of thousands of genes to be studied simultaneously is called a DNA

microarray

Genomics is the molecular analysis of

the entire genetic composition of a species.

An organism's genome is its

total genetic composition.

The set of all RNA molecules that are transcribed in one cell or a population of cells is called the

transcriptome

True or false: The Human Genome project developed tools to enable scientists to access and interpret data from the genome project.

true

How many different types of chromosomes make up the nuclear genome of a human female?

23

The field of study in which the entire genome of a species is analyzed is called

genomics
