Why did scientists expect that human would have more genes than they actually do?

As humans seem to be the most complex and intelligent creatures, their genes simply must have been stronger (sarcasm on the last seven words). And so, once people understood how genes worked, they decided that humans would have more genes. Also, if genes are passed down from every generation to the next, then logic must make it that the oldest creatures would have the most, hence we should have more than a dog, a cat, a mouse, etc. (Domesticated animals have evolved to fit their masters' needs,) but much less than a cockroach, which is the oldest living creature on the planet.

Were scientists correct in their estimate of how many genes would be identified during the human genome project Why or why not?
No,the scientists were not correct in their estimate of how many genes would be identified during the human genome project because they had identified an estimated 30,000 genes (instead of the expected 100,000), constituting just 1% of the total human.
One of the surprising findings of the human genome project is that?
It is surprisingly that we only have 300,000 genes inside our body. The scientists also think that we have billions of genes.
Why do scientists want to locate all genes on human chromosomes?
because it wil serve as a reference for research in human biology and will provide insights into the basis of human disease.
How many genes account for human height?
55 orthologous genes are associated with human height
Human genome contains how many?
The Human Genome Project sequenced all the chromosomes of a human. This tells us the actual genetic code of adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine that codes for genes in humans. With it, scientists can study genes that control the way we develop or cause disease.
How many genes did scientists expect to identify during the Human Genome Project?
40,000 genes
How many genes do scientists think human beings have?
30,000
What is the simple subject in the sentence By studying human genes scientists hope to learn more about how to prevent and cure hereditary disease?

Did scientists develop the first map of human genes at the beginning of the 21st century?
Yes it was.
What did the scientists do in Apollo 11?
Actually there were no human scientists on the Apollo 11.
Scientists have successfully transformed bacteria with human genes Describe one current use of the technology in medicine?
Human genes can be inserted into a bacteria and produce large numbers of human proteins on an industrial state!!
Are scientists done mapping out genes?
Scientists have mapped the whole human genome but are still mapping other species genomes such as mice and worms
One of the surprising findings of the human genome project is that?
It is surprisingly that we only have 300,000 genes inside our body. The scientists also think that we have billions of genes.
How long a human survive with thalassemia and with the recessive genes?
Those with thalassemia can expect to live until they are 50 or more.
Why is zebrafish used in scientific research?
Zebra fish are used in scientific research for finding the functions of genes n vertebrate. Scientists have learned that they can learn a lot about functions of human genes by examining the genes of simpler organisms.
Why do scientists want to locate all genes on human chromosomes?
because it wil serve as a reference for research in human biology and will provide insights into the basis of human disease.
