Sequencing an Entire Genome, Such as That of C

question 22

Multiple Choice

Sequencing an entire genome, such as that of C. elegans, a nematode, is most important because

• A)it allows researchers to use the sequence to build a "better" nematode, resistant to disease.
• B)it allows research on a group of organisms we do not usually care much about.
• C)the nematode is a good animal model for trying out cures for viral illness.
• D)a sequence that is found to have a particular function in the nematode is likely to have a closely related function in vertebrates.
• E)a sequence that is found to have no introns in the nematode genome is likely to have acquired the introns from higher organisms.

Definitions:

Cost-push Inflation

Inflation caused by an increase in prices of inputs like labour, raw material, etc. It’s when the supply side of the economy’s production function becomes more expensive.

Demand-pull Inflation

Inflation that occurs when the demand for goods and services exceeds their supply, leading to an increase in prices.

Demand-pull Inflation

A situation where inflation is caused by an increase in demand for goods and services, exceeding the available supply.

Cost-push Inflation

Inflation caused by an increase in production costs, such as raw materials and wages, which leads to a decrease in the supply of goods and services at the same price levels.
