Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is NOT an impact of the Human Genome Project?
A
Medical Advancements
B
Availability of new jobs
C
Aid in Child Support
D
Aid in FBI investigations
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The HGP benefited biology and medicine by creating a sequence of the human genome; sequencing model organisms; developing high-throughput sequencing technologies; and examining the ethical and social issues implicit in such technologies.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘Repeated (or repetitive) sequences are not present in human genome’.

Detailed explanation-3: -These techniques will characterize DNA for family studies of disease, create genomic maps, determine the nucleotide sequence of genes and other large DNA fragments, identify genes, and enable extensive computer manipulations of genetic data.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
