What do you think about the human genome project?
Human Genome Project(HGP) was started in 1985.Actually it was planned for 15 years.But due to advancement in science and technology,it was completed within 13 years.It was planned to completely identify the structure and function of all the estimated 1,00,000 genes in human body.But only function of 30,000 genes was known.It is quite good idea,Since the results are very useful in further improvement of biomedical technology.Also scientists got an accurate idea about function,structure and effect of genes on human body.,which helped them to continue future research.
About how many human genes are there?
There are 23 chromosomal pairs in the human genome. There are an estimated 20,000-25,000 genes in the human genome. According to an article published by Mihaela Pertea and Steven L Salzberg (of the University of Maryland and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, respectively), there are approximately 22,333 genes in the human genome.1 References: 1. "Between a chicken and a grape: estimating the number of human genes" - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2898077/
In 2003 what was achieved by the human genome project?
The human genome project began in 1990, and this project was to find the complete sequence of genes in a human. The goal of this project was to identify all genes in the human body, this meant as much as mapping out 3 billion base pairs of nucleotides in our DNA. It was completed in 2003 and this now allows for further development in biological diseases and also gives us a thorough analysis in human Biology.
What are characteristics affected by?
Just about ALL human (and living organism) characteristics are affected by genes.
Why can Bacteria are able to produce human proteins?
They reproduce quickly, so they often produce much of the desired protein in a short time.
Does chemical lightening affect the structure of human hair?
yes it does
What is the Human Genome Project-?
The Human Genome Project is an international effort to map and sequence all the DNA base pairs of the human genome. It's also an effort to identify the all the genes and the protein/trait that they code for in the human genome. ============================================== The Human Genome Project studies the human chromosomes to determines which genes are involved in what aspects of the human body reproduction, growth, functioning, and health intending to produce a map of the DNA structure, what it does, and how.
What type of information can genetics provide to people?
Genetics tell the story of the biological makeup of human life. DNA is composed of thousands of genes and is the backbone of human life. These genes are what composes the biological structure of all living organisms.
What is the chemical factors that determine traits?
The chemical factors that determine traits are called genes
Why do mutations in genes effect traits?
because genes are the structure for the organism and if u change the structure the outcome is changed
How many genes are there in a human cells?
The human genome contains about 24,000 genes.
Structure that contains genes?
DNA
Structure on which genes are inherited?
chromosome
What is the structure the carries the genes?
chromosomes
The chemical factors that determine traits are called?
genes for sure
How many genes account for human height?
55 orthologous genes are associated with human height
What is similar in chemical structure to testosterone?
Chemical structure is more stronger than testosterone structure is testostrone is weaker than chemical structure.
