Do you think if this is a worthwhile/ethical use of biotechnology why or why not?

Genome

• A genome is the entire genetic code of an organism. The human genome project was an international research effort to determine the sequence of human genome and identify the genes that it contains. In humans, that's over 20,000 genes! The completed human sequence can now identify the location of each gene.

• search for genes linked to different types of disease

Multiple Choice

What is a genome?

• an organism's complete set of DNA, or genetic materia

• A garden ornament 
• The sum of all human material.
• A totally non-unique set of genetic material not shared with anything else

Multiple Choice

The main goal of the Human Genome Project (HGP) was to:

• Identify the unique parts of each person's DNA.
• Identify genes responsible for human diseases.
• Identify genes responsible for human behavior.
• Determine the entire sequence of human DNA.

DNA fingerprinting

• There are sections of DNA that are different in each person.

• The repeating units in these sections make DNA fingerprint.

Poll
