Question

You are a new hire at a bioinformatics company and are helping to annotate the genome of a recently sequenced organism. A co-worker indicates that the software used to detect potential genes finds protein-coding genes more easily than genes for noncoding RNAs. What difference between coding and noncoding genes explains why genes coding for proteins are easier to identify than genes for noncoding RNAs:

A. Only genes for noncoding RNAS contain introns
B. Only protein-coding genes contain homologs in other organisms.
C. Only genes coding for proteins contain open reading frames (ORFS).
D. Only genes coding for proteins have promoter regions preceding their genes.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B. only protein coding regions contain homologs in other organism.

Explanation:

Annotation of genome is process related to bioinformatics that helps to determine the both location and function of protein coding region within a genome.

      when two proteins share similar sequence in two different organism,then these  two proteins are called homologs.

       Coding regions basically contain homologs or identical sequence in other organism which helps to comparison between coding and non coding genes and this ultimately helps identify protein coding genes from non coding RNAs.
