  【正确答案】:

B

  【本题分数】:

1.0分

  【答案解析】

  [解析]理解题。

题干是对第一句中的“therearealsoregionsoftheDNAstrand”的改写。

前面提到“DNA具有遗传性”,既然是遗传,那么可以推断出具有同样DNA特征的人必定有同样的祖先。

所以应选B。

C

  【本题分数】:

1.0分

  【答案解析】

  [解析]语义题。

基于第一段第二、三句,我们知道遗传标记提供独有的识别特征把人们连接在一起,形成家族树。

换句话说,能对家族树进行研究,是因为遗传标记的独有特征可以用来判断一个人的基因身份以及这个人与他人之间的关系。

所以正确答案为C。

  第8题TheMolecularGenealogyResearchGroupisbuildingadatabaseforthepurposeof______.

  Aofferingassistanceinworkingoutgenealogy-relatedproblemsBsolvingmanyissueswithoutrelyingontraditionalwrittenrecordsCprovidingapedigreechartofatleastfourgenerationsintheworldDconfirmingtheassumptionthatallindividualsareofthesameorigin

1.0分

  【答案解析】

根据第二段中的“…helpinsolvingmanyissuesregardinggenealogiesthatcouldnotbedonebyrelyingonly…”可知,建立数据库有助于解决仅靠其他方法不能解决的与宗谱有关的许多问题。

所以应选A。
