Studying the Human Genome

Gel electrophoresis enables scientists to

• separate DNA fragments.
• combine DNA fragments.
• count the genes in DNA.
• insert DNA in cells.

Whether a human will be a male or a female is determined by

• sex chromosomes in the egg cell.
• sex chromosomes in the sperm cell.
• autosomes in the egg cell.
• autosomes in the sperm cell.

The main goal of the Human Genome Project is 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.
