Questions
1 Your lab partner is using BLAST, and his best E value is 3. This means that
A he’s found 3 proteins in the database that have the same sequence as his protein.
B the chance that these similarities arose due to chance is one in 10^3.
C there would be 3 matches that good in a database of this size by chance alone.
D the match in amino acid sequencs is perfect, except for the amino acids at 3 positions.

Answer: there would be 3 matches that good in a database of this size by chance alone.
2 If you enter a set of IUPAC codes into BLAST, you are probably trying to
A find out whether a certain protein has any role in human disease.
B search for the genes that are located on the same chromosome as a gene whose sequence you have.
C find which section of a piece of DNA is transcribed into mRNA.
D determine the identity of a protein.

Answer: determine the identity of a protein.

A gene duplication
B alternative splicing mechanisms
C the formation of polyproteins
D recombination, deletions, and random assortment of DNA segments

6 Gene duplication has been found to be one of the major reasons for genome expansion in eukaryotes. In general, what would be the selective advantage of gene duplication?
A If one gene copy is nonfunctional, a backup is available.
B Larger genomes are more resistant to spontaneous mutations.
C Duplicated genes will make more of the protein product.
