Recombinant DNA Project

Pedigree Mapping Project

Genetic Engineering Project

Human Genome Project

14) Choose the best answer.

Humans have ___ genes.

50 - 100

20,000 - 25,000

3,000 - 5,000

10,000 - 15,000

15) Choose the correct answer for each row.
Correct Choices
true
false
If a nucleic acid accidentally is switched on the third base of a codon, a built-in redundancy ensures that the same amino acid still codes. As a result, there is an effect on the protein synthesized.


Results of the HGP helped scientists learn the location of more genes that contribute to genetic diseases.


Down's syndrome is one of the genetic disorders caused by triploidy.


The Human Genome project spurred a revolution in biotechnology innovation around the world and played a key role in making the U.S. the global leader in the new biotechnology sector.
