George is studying a computer model of a DNA molecule, in which the letters A, C, G, and T are listed in a very long sequence. T

he model includes a total of 2000 genes that are scattered along the full length of the molecule. The genes make up only a small fraction of the molecule.
George wants to identify the locations of the genes. Which would be the MOST USEFUL first step to follow?

A. Divide the model molecule into 2000 segments of equal size.
B. Identify all of the start codons in the model molecule.
C. Identify the promoter regions in the model molecule.
D. Divide the model molecule into three-letter pieces.

The correct answer is: B. Identify all of the start codons in the model molecule.

One of two ways of finding gene locations is mapping the molecular locations (other is cytogenetic location, using chromosomes).

Finding the molecular location of the gene refers to finding the location of that gene in terms of base pairs. It means scan the DNA for start and stop codons. This can be complicated by the fact that there is some variation in start codons.  

Finding the molecular location of one gene allows determination of exactly how far that gene is from other genes on the same chromosome.

Answer:

C. Identify the promoter regions in the model molecule.

Explanation:

Promoters are the sequences present close to the upstream of start site. Promoter is the sequence that serves as binding site for RNA polymerase to start the process of transcription. Since promoter sequences are consensus sequences and all genes have promoters associated with them; identification of promoter sequences can give location of the gene on the otherwise large DNA molecule.

After receiving information on various forms of birth control, a young couple decides to use a barrier method because they would
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is diaphragm.

Explanation:

One of the barrier methods of controlling birth is the diaphragm. It is abstemiously efficient, with a one-year failure rate of approximately 12 percent with the typical application. It is positioned over the cervix with spermicide prior to having sex and is left in position for about 6 hours post-sex.  

It is a rubber barrier that holds the spermicide against the cervix. The spring in the diaphragm's rim produces a seal against the walls of the vagina. The diaphragm covers the cervix and physically inhibits sperm from getting inside the uterus via the internal orifice of the uterus. Basically, the diaphragm has an application with spermicide, and it is broadly considered that the spermicide substantially enhances the efficacy of the diaphragm.
