Sidney Brenner argued that the code was nonoverlapping because he considered that coding restrictions would occur if it were overlapping. A second major argument against an overlapping code involved the effect of a single nucleotide change. In an
overlapping code, how many adjacent amino acids would be affected by a single nucleotide change? In a nonoverlapping code, how many amino acid(s) would be affected?
What will be an ideal response?
two; one

To better understand the genetic basis of human diseases, would it be better to sequence 1000 human genomes or 1000
genomes of closely related species?
a. 1000 genomes of closely related species, because animals exhibit disease symptoms more clearly than humans do b. 1000 genomes of closely related species, because it is easier to sequence animal genomes than human genomes c. 1000 human genomes, because this would give a better indication of the evolutionary history of diseasecausing genes d. 1000 human genomes, because this would give a better indication of the link between specific human genes and genetic disorders e. neither would be beneficial because human disease is almost entirely caused by environmental factors

The northern elephant seal was hunted almost to extinction during the 18th and 19th centuries. Less than 100 seals were left to contribute to the gene pool of their future generations. Since the early 20th century, the elephant seals have been protected by law in both the U.S. and Mexico. Over 100,000 seals now inhabit the western shores of North America, all related to the small population that survived the slaughter of hunters.Scientists fear the elephant seals may be more susceptible to disease and pollution due to
A. founder effect. B. disruptive selection. C. heterozygous advantage. D. bottleneck effect.
