DNA sequencing quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the DNA sequencing card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
The ______ of rapid DNA sequencing methods has greatly accelerated biological and medical research and discovery.
Answer
advent. The advent of rapid DNA sequencing methods has greatly accelerated biological and medical research and discovery. From the DNA sequencing article on Wikipedia.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Wind power. Wind power 110,000 · DNA sequencing 73,000 · Conscience 55,000 · Environmental impact of aviation 24,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It includes any method or technology that is used to determine the order of the four bases: adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.
- The advent of rapid DNA sequencing methods has greatly accelerated biological and medical research and discovery.
- Knowledge of DNA sequences has become indispensable for basic biological research, DNA Genographic Projects and in numerous applied fields such as medical diagnosis, biotechnology, forensic biology, virology and biological systematics.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The DNA sequencing article was read about 73,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 89 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get DNA sequencing
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
