BIOL 1110 Unit 4

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.

Identify an application of genetic sequencing below:

• Improved and more accurate diagnosis of inherited disorders due to single genes
• Providing personalised medication and treatment depending on the genetic combination
• Determine evolutionary relationships between species
• All of the above

• bioethics

• bioinformatics

• genetic engineering

• polymerase chain reaction

Application of bioinformatics include

• Drug designing
• Understanding relationship between organisms or molecules
• All of the above

When an organism of a species has an adaptation, it will compete for resources better, survive longer and pass that adaptation on to it's offspring. This process is called

• evolution by natural selection
• artificial selection
• inbreeding
• outbreeding
