Detailed explanation-1: -The Human Genome Project is an international research project whose primary mission is to decipher the chemical sequence of the complete human genetic material (i.e., the entire genome), identify all 50, 000 to 100, 000 genes contained within the genome, and provide research tools to analyze all this genetic information.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The statement is True. Determining the nucleotide sequence of the approximately 3 billion base pairs that make up the 24 chromosomes of the human genome was one of several goals of the Human Genome Project.
Detailed explanation-3: -No. Throughout the Human Genome Project, researchers continually improved the methods for DNA sequencing. However, they were limited in their abilities to determine the sequence of some stretches of human DNA (e.g., particularly complex or highly repetitive DNA).
Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: The main goal was to determine the number and sequence of all base pairs in the human genome.
Detailed explanation-5: -Completed in April 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the ability to read nature’s complete genetic blueprint for a human.
