Detailed explanation-1: -However, in improving the understanding of genetic variation within and between populations, the HapMap project has not only enriched scientific knowledge of disease but also enabled the development of population-based screening technologies that are fundamental for disease prevention.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which best describes the impact that the Human Genome Project has had on society? It has helped scientists determine that certain defective genes can cause disease.
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: The main goal was to determine the number and sequence of all base pairs in the human genome.
Detailed explanation-4: -Results: A number of disease genes have already been identified, leading to improved diagnosis and novel approaches to therapy. A new type of mutation, trinucleotide repeat expansion, has been found to be responsible for at least seven diseases with an unusual inheritance pattern.
