Question:
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
Answer:
D) a sequence that is found to have a particular function in the nematode is likely to have a closely related function in vertebrates.
