The answer is;

How are the organisms related?

What are molecular-level changes that are associated with human disease?

 

The former applies in the field of evolutionary biology while the latter in the field of medicine and molecular biology. Another application of the whole genome sequencing technology is in forensics (paternity testing and DNA matching and profiling). Also, metagenomics that enables researchers to determine which types of microbes may be present in a particular biome.

Whole genome sequencing represents the determination of the complete DNA sequence of an organism’s genome at a single time, which entails chromosomal DNA as well as DNA contained in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Whole genome sequencing provides a powerful tool for both de novo sequencing and re-sequencing. De novo sequencing refers to sequencing of a novel genome without reference sequence available. The coverage quality of de novo assembly depends on the size and continuity of the contigs. De novo sequencing generates the first genome map for a species, thus providing a valuable reference sequence for re-sequencing. Oxford Nanopore and PacBio sequencing systems enable a faster and more accurate characterization of any species at the nucleotide level.


Whole genome resequencing can identify DNA biomarkers such as single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs), insertions and deletions (indels), structure variations (SVs), copy number variations (CNVs) and other genetic changes of the sequenced species with high accuracy. It also provides an unprecedented opportunity for characterizing the polymorphic variants in a population, which comprehensively unravels the underlying mechanisms of species origin, development, growth, and evolution. What’s more, whole genome re-sequencing is an indispensable part of genome-wide association study (GWAS), where common genetic variants in different individuals are assessed to determine if a variant is associated with a particular phenotype. GWAS can be broadly used in food safety, agriculture, and pharmacy, especially the personalized medicine.

What did rosenberg and trevathan discover in their study comparing human and nonhuman primate birth?
melamori03 [73]
When comparing the birth patterns of humans and non-human primate, Rosenberg and Trevathan discovered some very clear differences:

1. The human period of labour and child birth is exceptionally long and painful compared to other non-human primates.
E.g. a human labour can last anywhere from 10-20 hours while that of a chimpanzee lasts only 2 hours.

2. Humans have the ability to walk straight, the trade off however is that it is extremely difficult and painful to give birth to a big brained human baby.

Acentric chromosomes, which lack centromeres, can form as a result of chromosome breakage or as a consequence of inversion with
Furkat [3]

Answer:

It wouldn't be able to migrate to the cell's poles.

Explanation:

During anaphase, microtubules attach the chromosome's centromeres and start dragging them towards the poles of the cell. In mitosis, this causes the separation of both sister chromatids for each chromosome, and each chromatid migrates to a different pole. In meiosis, first each homologous chromosome is separated by the same process, and then the sister chromatids are separated during anaphase II. If a chromosome doesn't have centromeres, microtubules are unable to attach the chromosomes, and so the separation of either sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes can't take place.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

C) Sprout every year, year after year

Explanation:

A perennial plant or simply perennial is a plant that lives more than two years. Some sources cite perennial plants being plants that live more than three years. The term is often used to differentiate a plant from shorter-lived annuals and biennials.
