Answer the following question given this paragraph: Look at the topographic map of Stowe, Vermont ( Figure below ). There is a steep hill rising just to the right of the city of Stowe. You can tell this because the contour lines there are closely spaced. The contour lines also show that the hill has a sharp rise of about 200 feet. Then the slope becomes less steep toward the right. Q: Physical science is defined as the study of what? Choices: - light & matter - biology & light - matter & elements - matter & energy A:
matter & energy
Answer the following question given this paragraph: Protons and neutrons are made up of fundamental particles of matter called quarks. Electrons are another type of fundamental particles of matter called leptons. Bosons are fundamental particles that carry forces between fundamental particles of matter. Q: A fundamental particle of matter, protons and neutrons are made of these? Choices: - particles - neutrinos - atoms - quarks A:
quarks
Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Nuclear reactors heat water to steam to drive a turbine for generation of electricity. Q: What does the driving of turbines by the heating of water to steam accomplish? Choices: - depletion of electricity - diffusion of electricity - absorption of electricity - generation of electricity A:
A: generation of electricity
Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Hotspots may also be active at plate boundaries. This is especially common at mid-ocean ridges. Iceland is formed by a hotspot along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Q: Which country is formed by a hotspot along the mid-atlantic ridge? Choices: - finland - norway - Switzerland - iceland A:
Answer: iceland

Answer the following question given this paragraph: 17.3 | Whole-Genome Sequencing By the end of this section, you will be able to: Describe three types of sequencing Define whole-genome sequencing Although there have been significant advances in the medical sciences in recent years, doctors are still confounded by some diseases, and they are using whole-genome sequencing to get to the bottom of the problem. Whole-genome sequencing is a process that determines the DNA sequence of an entire genome. Whole-genome sequencing is a brute-force approach to problem solving when there is a genetic basis at the core of a disease. Several laboratories now provide services to sequence, analyze, and interpret entire genomes. For example, whole-exome sequencing is a lower-cost alternative to whole genome sequencing. In exome sequencing, only the coding, exon-producing regions of the DNA are sequenced. In 2010, whole-exome sequencing was used to save a young boy whose intestines had multiple mysterious abscesses. The child had several colon operations with no relief. Finally, whole-exome sequencing was performed, which revealed a defect in a pathway that controls apoptosis (programmed cell death). A bone-marrow transplant was used to overcome this genetic disorder, leading to a cure for the boy. He was the first person to be successfully treated based on a diagnosis made by whole-exome sequencing. Today, human genome sequencing is more readily available and can be completed in a day or two for about $1000. Q: What process determines the dna sequence of an entire genome? Choices: - dna replication - chromosomal counting - genetic factorization - whole-genome sequencing A:
**Answer**
whole-genome sequencing
