KCET · BIOLOGY · STD 12 - 5. Molecular Basis of Inheritance
The main aim of the human genome project is
- A to introduce new genes into humans
- B to identify and sequence all the genes present in human DNA
- C to develop better techniques for comparing two different human DNA samples
- D to remove disease causing genes from human DNA.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) to identify and sequence all the genes present in human DNA
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) to identify and sequence all the genes present in human DNA,
The main aim of the Human Genome Project was to map and sequence the entire human genome, identifying all the genes present in human DNA and determining the complete nucleotide sequence of human DNA. This project did not focus on introducing new genes, developing comparison techniques, or removing disease-causing genes.
