The Human Genome Project began in 1989 with the purpose of identifying the thousands of genes of the human genome. The first draft of the genome was released in 2000 and was completed in 2003. Which of the following describes the main benefit of mapping the human genome?
|
|
the ability to clone humans
|
|
|
the abiloty to design new human genes
|
|
|
the ability to easily identify genetically-based diseases
|
|
|
the ability to patent specific human genes
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The project showed that humans have 99.9% identical genomes, and it set the stage for developing a catalog of human genes and beginning to understand the complex choreography involved in gene expression.
Detailed explanation-2: -Goals of the Human Genome Project: Build genetic and physical maps spanning the human genome. Determine the sequence of the estimated 3 billion letters of human DNA, to 99.99% accuracy. Chart variations in DNA spelling among human beings. Map all the human genes.
