CRACKING THE CODE OF LIFE QUESTIONS 1. What % of genes in a banana are found in us? 2. How many more genes do humans have than fruit flies? 3. How long did they predict it would take to decode the human genome? 4. What does Tay Sachs disease do to a babies’ brain? 5. Who does a child get the gene for Tay Sachs from? 6. What was slowing down the government teams? 7. By early 2000, how many base pairs/sec were rolling out? 8. How many times were the fundamental mechanisms for life worked out on this planet? 9. Why doesn’t work get done on certain regions of DNA molecules? 10. Are genes one-dimensional or 3-dimensional? 11. What do genes do – basically? 12. What was every week like at Solaris? 13. How many of the 17 children have arthritis? 14. What are the “guys in the funny suits” making? 15. BRCA mutations cause what percentage of breast cancers? 16. What would most changes we make to DNA today do to the machine? 17. What do you come away from reading the genome realizing? 18. What can “we and we alone do”? 19. It was long thought that humans had around 100,000 genes. The initial survey of the human genome indicated that there were only about __________ genes in humans. 20. What interesting fact about human genes allows humans to be so much more complex than something like a fruit fly? CRACKING THE CODE OF LIFE QUESTIONS KEY 21. What % of genes in a banana are found in us? 50% 22. How many more genes do humans have than fruit flies? Double the # 23. How long did they predict it would take to decode the human genome? 15 years 24. What does Tay Sachs disease do to a babies’ brain? Destroys it 25. Who does a child get the gene for Tay Sachs from? Both parents 26. What was slowing down the government teams? The machines were breakingBy early 2000, how many base pairs/sec were rolling out? 1000 27. How many times were the fundamental mechanisms for life worked out on this planet? once 28. Why doesn’t work get done on certain regions of DNA molecules? Patents 29. Are genes one-dimensional or 3-dimensional? 1-D 30. What do genes do – basically? Make proteins 31. What was every week like at Solaris? intense 32. How many of the 17 children have arthritis? 11 33. What are the “guys in the funny suits” making? Gene chips 34. BRCA mutations cause what percentage of breast cancers? 5 to 10 % 35. What would most changes we make to DNA today do to the machine? Break it 36. What do you come away from reading the genome realizing? We are so similar to every other creature on the planet 37. What can “we and we alone do”? Wonder 38. That there were only about 30,000 genes.
