The purpose of the primer sequence in PCR is to:

True or False. DNA template strands are READ by DNA polymerase in the 3’ to 5’ direction.

True or False. According to the article “Epigenetics in Action”, the DNA methylation that controls the expression of the agouti phenotype isn’t entirely stable from generation to generation.

True or False. Epigenetic control of genes affects the individual but is not passed down to offspring.

Information from RNA molecules is transferred to proteins during which process?

True or False. Microarray technology is mostly used to sequence genomic DNA very, very quickly.

True or false: One of the early discoveries that led to Crispr technology was that viral DNA was contained in between palindromic sequences (cut sites) in some bacteria.

The provided pedigree shows the inheritance of a recessive trait (‘a’). Unless there is evidence to the contrary, assume the individuals that have married into the family do not carry the recessive allele. What is the probability that the offspring of the following mating will show the trait: (‘a’) III – 7 x III – 16?

This man ran a privately funded project that was similar to the federally funded Human Genome Project, and greatly catalyzed the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003.

Why has progress studying the genetic traits of human beings been slow?
