BIM 088V 001 SQ 2025 Week 10 - "Final" Quiz

Multiple choice

Bayan is a freshman in the biological sciences, she is interested in genes, she wants to find a professor she can work with on a project of her own idea, which came to her in a  dream,  to sequence the oyster genome for oysters grown on farms in the west coast vs oysters grown in Norwegian farms and mine this information to figure out which genes make oysters taste better.  What are some challenges with working on this research topic?

Options
A.It might be hard to find professors working in this area
B.The topic is very narrow
C.It it too large in scope. Bayan should give up and just work on an existing project in a professor's lab
D.It might be expensive to carry out this project
E.There is no way taste can be defined by genetics
F.The idea is not based on knowledge of the existing field

Step-by-Step Analysis
The question presents Bayan, a freshman in biological sciences who wants to sequence oyster genomes from farmed oysters on the West Coast versus Norwegian farms, aiming to mine data to identify genes affecting taste. It asks: what are some challenges with working on this research topic? Option 1: 'It might be hard to find professors working in this area' — This is a plausible challenge because a project that spans genomics, population genetics, and sensory traits in a non-model organism like oysters is highly specialized. Not all biology departments have faculty actively researching oyster genomics or taste-related genetics, making mento......Login to view full explanation
