The genome of an organism is its entire ............................. information encoded in DNA

A genome is made up of genes and other DNA sequences that do not code for .....................

In ......................... sequencing the sequence of nucleotide bases can be determined for individual genes and entire genomes

Computer programs can be used to identify base sequences by looking for sequences similar to known ...................

• bases

• genes

• amino acids

• nucleotides

To compare sequence data, computer and statistical analyses are required. What is this known as?

• biocomputing

• bioinformation

• biogenetics

• bioinformatics

An individual’s genome can be analysed to predict the likelihood of developing certain .....................

.............................................. is the use of genome information in the choice of drugs.

An individual’s personal genome sequence can be used to select the most effective drugs and dosage to treat their disease. This is known as ...............................

• personalised medicine
