Q
What does sequencing a genome mean?
A
Sequencing a genome means working out the DNA base sequence for all DNA in a cell such as Human Genome
2
Q
What are the difference of genomes in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes?
A
Prokaryotes do not contain introns so genome can be used directly to sequence the proteins so can find proteome
Eukaryotes have introns and regulatory genes in their DNA (cannot be easily used to translate proteome)
