Human Genonicmics

Question 1

Genome of an organism

Answer 1

is its entire hereditary information encoded in DNA

Question 2

Pharmacogenetics

Answer 2

the use of genome information in the choice of drugs.

Question 3

Personalised medicine

Answer 3

An individual’s personal genome sequence can be used to select the most effective drugs and dosage to treat their disease (personalised medicine).

Question 4

What is a genome made up of?

Answer 4

genome is made up of genes and other DNA sequences that do not code for proteins.

Question 5

Genomic sequencing

Answer 5

genomic sequencing the sequence of nucleotide bases can be determined for individual genes and entire genomes.

Computer programs can be used to identify base sequences by looking for sequences similar to known genes.

To compare sequence data, computer and statistical analyses (bioinformatics) are required.

Question 6

Bioinformatics

Think investigate, analyse and evaluate

Answer 6

Use of

• Computers
• Stastical Analsysis
• genetic data to compare sequence data
