Human Genome

What is the purpose of the Human Genome Project?

• map all the base-pairs of the human genome

• identify and treat genetic conditions

• to clone a perfect human being

• to find treatment for down syndrome

The process of changing a gene to treat a genetic disease or disorder. It is one of the products of the human genome project.

• cloning

• hybridization

• gene therapy

• selective cutting

Human genome project is

• a national project to identify and map genes

• is being used to identify and map all genes in the human genome

• was stopped due to ethical considerations

• is unsuccessful

The human genome project is an attempt to 

• Sequence cat DNA

• Copy DNA

• Sequence the human genome

• Cure genetic disease

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.
