Human DNA is a lecture and an article as part of the gene transcription series.

You are free to take this quiz based on human DNA at any time.

To improve your score, read and study the lecture, the links contained within, listed under See also, and in the humanities or genetics resources template. This should give you adequate background to get 100 %.

As a "learning by doing" resource, this quiz helps you to assess your knowledge and understanding of the information, and it is a quiz you may take over and over as a learning resource to improve your knowledge, understanding, test-taking skills, and your score.

A suggestion is to have the lecture available in a separate window.

To master the information and use only your memory while taking the quiz, try rewriting the information from more familiar points of view, or be creative with association.

Enjoy learning by doing!

Ignore the questions' coefficients:

1. Complete the text:

A short or realization of a certain or idea to a treament's feasibility in human DNA is called a proof of .

2. True or False, A dominant group in human DNA differs from a control group in that it rules the treatment of the control group.

TRUE
FALSE

3. DNA contains genes, which hold the instructions for life. But, these take up only about 2 percent of the

4. True or False, People have about 20,000 genes, but the vast majority of DNA lies outside of genes.

TRUE
FALSE

5. Which of the following is a protein encoding characteristic of human DNA?

a segment of DNA that carries genetic information such as a sequence of amino acids for a protein
at least three-quarters of the genome is involved in making RNA
fully 98% of the human genome is noncoding DNA
over 50% of human DNA consists of non-coding repetitive sequences
an abundant form of noncoding DNA in humans ia pseudogenes

6. True or False, A control group may be used in human DNA to demonstrate no effect or a standard effect versus a novel effort applied to a treatment group.

TRUE
FALSE

7. Which of the following are phenomena associated with the genotype?

at least three-quarters of the genome is involved in making RNA
only about 1.5% of the human genome consists of protein-coding exons
the genetic information in a genome is held within genes
pseudogenes

TRUE
FALSE

9. Evidence that demonstrates that a model or idea with respect to human DNA versus a control group is feasible is called a

TRUE
FALSE

11. Complete the text:

A proof-of-concept structure, including a control group, consists of , procedures, findings, and .

12. True or False, The purpose of a treatment group in human DNA is to describe natural processes or phenomena for the first time relative to a control group.

TRUE
FALSE

13. True or False, The gene makeup of modern Europeans is closer to Africans than eastern Asians.

TRUE
FALSE

Research

Hypothesis:

  1. That portion of human DNA that constitutes humans may be less than 50 %.

Control groups

The findings demonstrate a statistically systematic change from the status quo or the control group.

“In the design of experiments, treatments [or special properties or characteristics] are applied to [or observed in] experimental units in the treatment group(s).[1] In comparative experiments, members of the complementary group, the control group, receive either no treatment or a standard treatment.[2]"[3]

Proof of concept

Def. a “short and/or incomplete realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility"[4] is called a proof of concept.

Def. evidence that demonstrates that a concept is possible is called proof of concept.

The proof-of-concept structure consists of

  1. background,
  2. procedures,
  3. findings, and
  4. interpretation.[5]
