What do you call the entire DNA of a organism?
genome
Why is the outdated term junk DNA a misnomer for noncoding regions of the human genome?
The conservation of "junk DNA" sequences in diverse genomes suggests that they have important functions.
Why do scientists use section of DNA that have little or known function to do DNA fingerprinting?
The simplest way to explain this is to first have a look at the parts of our DNA that DO have known functions. Logically we can assume that if a section of DNA that has an important function then we don't want the sequence of that region to vary much, otherwise the encoded instructions would get scrambled and the DNA would lose it's function - often leading to disease. For example, pretty much everyone has the same DNA sequence to produce hemoglobin (the oxygen carrying protein in your blood) since every single human needs it to be functional in exactly the same way. Now DNA fingerprinting is only useful if it examines regions of our genome that DO vary a lot between individuals, and hence these regions tend not to be those that encode essential functions.
What is the correct pronunciation of genome?
Preferred is "JEE-nohm", but also "JEE-nom" in some regions.
When was The Evolution of the Genome created?
The Evolution of the Genome was created in 2004.

Is the probability of a mutation at a particular gene locus high or low?
The probability of a mutation at a particular gene locus is low, and the probability of a mutation in the genome of a particular individual is high.
Which technique uses the fact that he human genome ensures that no two individuals are eactly alike?
DNA fingerprinting uses the fact that human genome ensures that no two individuals are exactly alike. It helps to settle the paternity and maternity cases. Identification of criminals is also possible by this technique.
Mapping all the genes on the human chromosome is called what?
This is the Human Genome Project. It was started in 1990 with the main goal being to determine the sequence of the base pairs which make up DNA, and to identify and map the thousands of genes of the human genome. It was completed in 2003. About 8% of the total genome remains unsequenced, because they did not study the entire DNA found in human cells.
What is the complete set genes of an individual?
genome
How did paternity testing start?
Sir Alec John Jeffreys, (born in 1950 in Oxford) is a British geneticist, who developed techniques for DNA fingerprinting and DNA genome sequencing. This led to tests for testing paternity.

Human genome fully sequenced?
The human genome, which contains 3.4 billion base pairs, is the largest sequenced to date. The genome of rice (Oryza sativa) is the largest and most complex fully-sequenced plant genome. It contains over 430 million base pairs and an estimated 46,022 to 55,615 genes. [Science 296(5565):79-92] In contrast, the human genome contains an estimated 23,299 genes. Genome size is independent of organismal complexity.
What has succeeded in sequencing all human chromosomes?
by looking for overlapping regions between sequenced DNA fragments
