Genetic diversity is the result of differences within a species. It is expressed as varieties, cultivars, ecotypes, strains, .. Biodiversity provides information on species richness. To sudy these two kinds of diversity, we use actually biochemical and molecular markers (obtained by electrophoresis) in addition to DNA sequencing

GENETIC DIVERSITY, BIODIVERSITY (5Q). EXAMPLES OF QUESTIONS
Q5. The parents of a new baby believe they brought the wrong child home from the hospital. Gel electrophoresis was performed using DNA samples from the parents and the child. A section of the gel electrophoresis results is shown below.
Which conclusion is valid based on the gel electrophoresis results? (make one choice)/1.

Q11. See the figure below and answer the questions related to gene amplification with PCR -tick a correct answer /1.
Impact of PCR parameters on amplification of 1 kb gene cloned into a 5 kb plasmid.
In this simulation, the PCR parameters are changed compared to the control parameters (shown in the figure below). We launch the test (runs 1, 2, 3, 4) and note the changes affecting yield, purity of gene DNA and time required for full amplification
- [ ] It is the change in the fixing temperature of the primers (annealing) which made it possible to have a better amplification of the gene cloned in the plasmid.
- [ ] It was the increased temperature of DNA elongation (extension) that gave better amplification of the cloned gene in the plasmid.
- [ ] It is the increase in the concentration of the two primers (primers) which led to a better amplification of the gene cloned in the plasmid.
- [ ] Increasing the temperature of DNA elongation (extension) improved the yield of gene amplification by PCR
- [ ] The purity of the DNA of the gene amplified by PCR is influenced by the concentration of the primers, following an inhibition of the elongation.
Q12. The study of the polymorphism of endopeptidases (ENP) extracted from the leaves of 20 individuals of a population of a plant species, made it possible to obtain the following zymogram
Using the zymogram, choose the CORRECT information:tick a correct answer.
[ ] The zymogram shows a migration zone which would result from the expression of 2 loci.
[ ] The locus(loci) codes for an enzyme of dimeric structure.
[ ] The enzyme is under the control of 3 alleles.
[ ] The zymogram shows 4 different genotypes with 1 homozygote and 3 heterozygotes.
[ ] The heterozygosity (percentage of heterozygotes relative to the total) shown by this zymogram is approximately 53%.
Q15. Choose from the list of the following words those that are suitable to fill in the gaps (copy and paste the words in the gaps or write in CAPITAL LETTERS, respect the spaces).
