BLAST results will indicate the percentage of genome comparisonamong known sequences as well as predicted sequences. A predictedsequence can best be characterized as a(n)
| a. | computational analysis showing similarity to a known protein |
| b. | expected similarity to a species due to evolutionaryrelationship |
| c. | a sequence found in all species of a particular genus |
| d. | the educated computerized “guess” based on the originalprogrammer’s data input |
All cancers arise as a result of changes in the DNA sequence ofthe genomes of cancer cells. Gene expression assays may be helpfulin showing the progression of the cancer phenotype by identifyingthe driver mutations which are:
| a. | mutations that develop as the cancer becomes invasive |
| b. | activating and loss of function mutations |
| c. | mutations that initiated the cancer |
| d. | mutations that make the cancer chemotherapy resistant |
