The Human Genome Project (a) sequenced all the DNA in the nuclear human genome (b) was exclusively concerned with the comparisons of DNA sequences between human DNA and DNA of other species (c) customized drugs to match an individual's genetic makeup (d) searched for individuals with a genotype that might cause a serious genetic disease in them or their offspring (e) provided risk estimates on human genetic diseases
QUESTION 1 The Human Microbiome Project (Choose ONE) A. Is an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the sequence of nucleotide base pairs that make up human DNA, and of identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome B. Is a multinational science project, with the stated aim to identify, catalog, and interpret genome-wide DNA methylation. C. An initiative to characterize the genomes of microbial communities found in healthy and diseased individuals D. Is the global initiative to collect and curate all human genetic variation affecting human health. QUESTION 2 Parameters for evaluation of the population use of genetic tests include the following: (Choose ONE) A. Analytical validity (i.e. sensitivity, specificity and predictive values with respect to genotype B. Clinical validity (i.e. sensitivity, specificity and predictive values with respect to phenotype or disease) C. Clinical Utility (i.e. the risks and benefits that accrue for genetic testing and subsequent interventions) D. All of the above E. E and C only QUESTION 3 The Framework for Integrating Genetic Discoveries into Public Health Functions includes the following: (Choose ONE) A. Public health assessment B. Evaluation of genetic testing C. Development, implementation, and evaluation of population interventions D. Communication and information dissemination E. All of the above QUESTION 4 The chromosome is (HINT: what it is and not what it does) A. Made up of DNA tightly coiled around proteins call histones that support its structure. B. In human, there are normally 22 pairs of autosomes and the 23rd pair, the sex chromosomes, differ between males and females C. These organelles are the recycling centers of the cells. They digest foreign bacteria that invade the cell, remove the toxic substances, and recycle the worn-out cell components. D. A and B E. B and C F. All of the above
