Question

question 20 (5 points) listen what were the goals of the human genome project? a) the goals of the human genome project were to sequence human dna and to understand how it’s damaged by exposure to toxins. b) the goals of the human genome project were to sequence dna from 50 different species, including humans, and to understand the gene that causes cancer. c) the goals of the human genome project were to sequence human dna and to identify the differences between human and chimpanzee dna. d) the goals of the human genome project were to sequence human dna and to identify all genes present in human dna.

Explanation:

• Option A: The Human Genome Project's main goal was not about studying DNA damage from toxins.
• Option B: It focused on human DNA, not sequencing 50 species' DNA or specifically cancer - causing genes.
• Option C: Comparing with chimpanzee DNA was not a main goal of the Human Genome Project.
• Option D: The primary goals of the Human Genome Project were to determine the sequence of human DNA and identify all the genes in human DNA.

Answer:

D) The goals of the Human Genome Project were to sequence human DNA and to identify all genes present in human DNA.
