What is the purpose of PCR?

• To produce millions of copies of the entire genome of an individual.

• To produce millions of copies of a specific region of DNA

• To add nucleotides to a DNA sequence

• To watch polymerase work.

The study of the genome is known as

• Biology
• Genomics
• Genes
• Heredity

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.

What is DNA sequencing?

• The total of genes carried by an individual or cell
• Coding genes in order to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms
• Deciphering the functions of various parts of the human genome
• The process of identifying the order of the bases in DNA

Which best describes the impact that the Human Genome Project (HGP) has had on society?

• It has helped scientists determine that certain genes can cause diseases 
• It has led to discrimination against genetically flawed individuals
• It has led to the appearance of new diseases
