| 1. | Scientists are now using a genetic approach to estimate the ages of corals. The method determines when a coral egg and sperm originally met to form the genome of a coral colony. The researchers then track the number of mutations that have accumulated in the genome since that time. Because mutations tend to arise at a relatively constant rate, researchers can estimate the approximate age of the coral genomes in their study. | |
| 2. | The newly released study, which looks at 700 million years of evolution, concludes that elements of the human genome work in the same way as the genome of the prehistoric sea sponge. | |
| 3. | The genome of this virus is unknown. | |
| 4. | The double helix that encodes our genome is an elegant structure. | |
| 5. | Scientists have sequenced the genome of bread wheat. | |
| 6. | Scientists have sequenced the wheat genome. | |
| 7. | The superior stability of DNA when compared to RNA most likely accounts for the former's role as the long-term repository of the genome. | |
| 8. | While the genome of a eukaryotic cell is nuclear, the ribosomes are cytosolic. | |
| 9. | They used an RT PCR assay to study the genome of the coronavirus. |
