The Value of Applying DNA Profiling to Tandem Repeat Sequences

question 44

Multiple Choice

The value of applying DNA profiling to Tandem Repeat Sequences is that

• A) the tandem repeat sequences are those that can be made into recombinant DNA.
• B) they signal to researchers where there are genes that can be more easily cloned, or grown in stem cells.
• C) None of the answer choices are correct.
• D) a more efficient analytical focus is made on small portions of highly variable DNA sequences.
• E) they serve as DNA probes, which indicate where disease-causing alleles are found.

Definitions:

Neuromuscular Junction

A specialized synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber, through which signals are transmitted to initiate muscle contraction.

Neurotransmitter

Chemical stored at the ends of axons that is responsible for transmission across a synapse.

Muscle Contraction

The process where muscle fibers shorten or generate tension in response to nervous system signals, allowing movement of the body.

Action Potential

Electrochemical changes that take place across the axon membrane; the nerve impulse.
