Why is it preferable to use large computers and databases in searching for individual genes, rather than testing each sequence for possible function?

#Unit 9. Evolution & Diversity of Life Forms
  1. Testing for function would require too many cells.

  2. Testing for function would require knowing the species, its life stage, and its phylogeny.

  3. Testing for function would require knowing where a particular gene starts and ends and how it is regulated.

  4. Use of computer databases is intellectually less rigorous.

The overall △G for glycolysis is -72 kJ/mol in erythrocytes. Which statement below is true?

A) The value of △G0ʹ is also -72 kJ/mol since the cytosol pH is close to 7.

B) The free energy of glycolysis is found as the sum of the standard free energy changes for

the individual pathway reactions.

C) The negative sign of △G shows that this pathway will proceed toward product (pyruvate) under normal cellular conditions.
