What is the Human Genome Project?
A
A biomedical research campaign aimed at mapping out all human artifacts
B
A biomedical research campaign aimed at mapping out all canine genes
C
A biomedical research campaign aimed at mapping out all feline genes
D
A biomedical research campaign aimed at mapping out all human genes
Explanation: 

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 was a landmark global scientific effort whose signature goal was to generate the first sequence of the human genome. In 2003, the Human Genome Project produced a genome sequence that accounted for over 90% of the human genome.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
