Detailed explanation-1: -The Human Genome Project is an ambitious research effort aimed at deciphering the chemical makeup of the entire human genetic code (i.e., the genome). The primary work of the project is to develop three research tools that will allow scientists to identify genes involved in both rare and common diseases.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Human Genome Project identified the full set of human genes, sequenced them all, and identified some of the alleles, particularly those that can cause disease when they get mutated. Genes can be mapped relative to physical features of the chromosome, or relative to other genes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: The main goal was to determine the number and sequence of all base pairs in the human genome.
