3.1 3 Identifying individual species

Question 1

DNA sequencing

Answer 1

base sequences of all or part of the genome of an organism is worked out

Question 2

DNA profiling

Answer 2

non-coding areas analysed to find patterns

Question 3

identifying species from the phenotype

Answer 3

conditions can result in major differences in appearance of the same species e.g antlers length in woodland vs mountains

Question 4

identifying species based on their DNA

Answer 4

A group of fungus might have the same affect on a crop and might of thought to be one fungus but could actually be several species

Question 5

Bioinformatics

Answer 5

software and computing tools needed to organise and analyse raw biological data . includes mathematical models and staistical tests

Question 6

DNA barcodes

Answer 6

short genetic sequences are found from a part of a genome common to a particular group of organisms

Question 7

DNA barcodes usefulness

Answer 7

if can take out and use in natural habitats. To identify plants with no flowers or fruits ,immature animals and larval forms of insects .Quick identification of invasive species will make it easier to deal with the threat
